grep package dependencies

["Mark Haney" <mhaney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What's up with grep and it's package dependencies?  I am (belatedly) 
trying to clear up old FC7 packages on my upgraded F8 box and wanted to 
clear out the FC7 grep package.  So, just for giggles I ran 'yum remove 
grep' and nearly every package on this box is dependent on it.  WTF?  I 
know grep is an important package (one of the most important ones, 
IMHO), but isn't that a little extreme?
