There has been some discussion, for example:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-October/203208.html
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-November/204113.html
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/packaging/2015-January/010417.html

And a packaging draft (not final and not approved):

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/WeakDependencies

Nothing about weak dependencies has been finalized for Fedora, as far as I
know.  If it makes you uncomfortable, I can take that out of the package until
something gets finalized.  But I think that having some examples of weak
dependencies in Fedora is valuable for gaining experience with them.
