Comment (by ausil):

 guidelines have to be approved before we do anything. but I am highly
 inclined to say no, it will make the minimal buildroot bigger and slower
 to create. you will need to BuildRequires anything you need.

Comment (by mstuchli):

 The guidelines have been approved by EPSCO [0], is there anyone else who
 should do the approval?

 devel/2015-March/010997.html

 The reason why we need python3-pkgversion-macros in minimal buildroot, is
 that we plan to use macros from the package *in* BuildRequires. Those
 macros, however, do not get expanded, unless the package is in minimal
 buildroot already, just BuildRequiring it does not help. See the
 guildelines for more on this.

 Or is there a way to achieve the same without adding the package to
 minimal buildroot?

Comment (by ausil):

 FPC needs to approve the packaging guidelines and put them in the official
 packaging guidelines space, the best place for the macros would be epel-
 release and redhat-rpm-config
