(And FWIW my take is that having this level of complexity in the dependency system is a mistake that is making things complex for the users and without giving them anything all that valuable in exchange, especially as we are taking the RPM-level control away from the users completely in cloud and Atomic images already.  And in the reverse dependencies really scare me.  But I realize this is a minority opinion, so it shouldn’t prevent answering the question with something else than “never”.)
