Oh no it wouldn't. Everything would be all of FC7 (the seperate extras
is
gone). It would haul in a zillion weird and wonderful obscure apps, some
very large, and it would cause problems with conflicts between
"either/or" package choices.

Alan, at the risk of being booed out of here is not your admission above
tantamount to admitting that RPM is broken? I realize that is heresey.
But that IS about what you said.
It's hardly a RPM issue if users select mutually exclusive packages.
That's a logical issue that needs solving manually. i.e. Which of these
packages don't *you* want installed, as a question to be answered by the
installing *person*.
Done properly RPM would inform you of the conflict and do nothing. The
fact that it does something is dangerous.
