It's more than a "couple too many BRs", some complex pkgs would/could get
10+. For one concrete example, see kdelibs:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/170602
Take this to an extreme, and we might as well go back to dropping the
minimal buildroot and simply do
BuildRequires: world
for everything.
I haven't really checked on what is considered a minimal buildroot
these days, but I think nothing in it even comes close to kdelibs :)
The issue with a couple more BR or a dozen for some packages like
kdelibs just mean that for some chroot builds the build system would
install a couple (or dozen) too many *-devel packages (along with the
mandatory in both cases non devel packages). The drawback is that
these packages will need a couple of seconds more to build. Do we
really care?
