According to my query there are more than 40 packages affected by
removal of these provides, so it's probably better if we automatically
migrate Requires/BuildRequires from ant-{trax,nodeps} to ant.
I agree with you. But doing smth that early in the release cycle should make people look
at their specs and usually this means fixing more than that. So let's give some time
to maintainers to fix their stuff. Probably fix whatever is left once F-19 is out ?
