Well, it has to do things like talk over the web, so it's going to
need some RPC libraries of some type. I think it is, however, obvious
that the current dependency chain is excessive.
Checking the specfile, I see the python-turboflot dependency came in
with a change which was not changelogged (and did not include a
release bump), so there's no information about why that dep was
added. The next package change was a license tag change, which
included a release bump and a build. It is possible that something
snuck out which was not intentended. I'm sure more will be known
tomorrow when those involved are back from the weekend.
