Those only speaks about BuildRequires though, and there i completely 
agree that a certain base set of development packages has to be 
installed before trying to rebuild anything. What my test covered though 
is install and remove requirements (resp. PreReqs to be more precise) 
and without that information rpm can't determine wether it needs to 
install coreutils before or after some package.
