libcgroup does not have any direct dependency on gettext.  It does however have
a dependency on redhat-lsb, and redhat-lsb has a dependency on gettext.

The 'gettext' RPM is a package that contains primarily development tools and
should only be required by things at build time. The actual gettext APIs are
all in the standard GlibC RPM.  

As such, IMHO, the problem that needs focusing on is the redhat-lsb <-> gettext
dep.  Either redhat-lsb needs changing to not require the gettext RPM, or we
need to split off the command line tools that relevant for production
environments,  from the tools that are only needed in development environments
and have separate RPM for them.

Separately from that, libcgroup should just be changed to remove any need for a
dep on redhat-lsb by using the native Fedora init functions. redhat-lsb is just
one of those crazy packages there for standards compliance, for 3rd party
vendors to ship cross-distro packages. No app in the Fedora repo has any
compelling need to use this package & indeed on my system libcgroup is the only
thing that uses it.
