What do folks think of adding an additional "provides" to

This wouldn't do anything by itself, but it would give higher level
tools, such as yum, the information needed to apply the policies set by
system administrators -- prefering the latest version, prefering gcj
versions, etc.
I'm kind of clueless in this area. Can you give an example of how these
tags would be used?
