[Fedora-packaging] Explicit Requires

Hi Fedora people!,

I have been reading
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Explicit_Requires.

It says that we should avoid explicit requires...

I want to make sure that I understood it. Is an "explicit requires" is both:

1) A full package: eg: mysql-libs
2) A versioned library file:libmysqlclient.so.16.0.0

So, the right way should be:

Requires: libmysqlclient.so

Please fix me if I misunderstood that.

thanks in advance!
