As promised, here is my new proposed draft for handling static libs:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/StaticLibraryPolicy
I know that it won't make everyone happy (it doesn't just leave static
bits in -devel), but we really do want to track who is building against
static libraries.
I'd rather just require them to be in -static instead of -static-noshared
- they can still be tracked that way.
