Was about to comment on a review that BuildRequires: glibc-devel isn't needed and was in the list of exceptions, and was to link the list http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Exceptions_2 only to discover it indeed is not there.
Shouldn't it be?
A Similar argument could probably be made for libstdc++-devel

It hasn't come up often enough over the past years. The guidelines say:
