[Fedora-packaging] core dev's have a ways to go

Just some frustration venting mostly, but Core dev's have a ways to go 
before "their" packages will ever come close to Extras quality, 
especially when they ignore good/valid suggestions and the very helpful 
stuff on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines

Case in point:
openobex: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/186457 (*)
	marked INVALID
rpm: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/145978
	marked WONTFIX
(rpm-devel's Requires: have been broken for a *very* long time)

Nice, huh?

Hopefully, the same won't happen to the other openobex packaging 
bugs/suggestions I reported yesterday:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/186458
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/186460
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/186463 (*)

OK, I feel better now.

(*) which can cause kdebluetooth (see bug #186452) to fail to build 
(especially outside of mock) on fc5.
