I've already tried and failed to convince RedHat that their pattern of having xxx-devel packages require xxx is wrong.
Often they actually do, though.
Would you care to explain, or give an example?
Try to build an SDL program with SDL-devel installed but not SDL.
xxx packages frequently contain the libraries and the xxx-devel packages the C headers and what not.
Pretty much pointless in installing the C headers without installing the libraries also.
