Weak dependencies come to Fedora

Not sure if you noticed, but this can possibly affect some of our tools or workflows, so I wanted to highlight it - it seems that weak dependencies are now approved in Fedora:
http://fedoramagazine.org/5tftw-2015-07-09/
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:WeakDependencies

We now have 4 more RPM dependency types to look out for :-) The first thing that comes to mind is depcheck, so I created a task for it here:
https://phab.qadevel.cloud.fedoraproject.org/T524

Hopefully this will not affect our other tools too much. If you know about something else that is likely to break, shout.

Thanks,
Kamil
