This was removed on my request, triggered by this PR [1].
Nevertheless I
concur that this should happen just in Rawhide and never be
backported
into stable releases.
Well... that's debatable. There is no promise that the stable releases
won't break broken packages working only accidentaly. The fix is simple
add the proper build dependency if you need it and do not depend on it
being pulled in by something else.
