I think so too.

If Feizhou could go to the start of the thread, he can see that there is a 
*real* problem. It is impossible to build the RHCS packages from source - 
unless one has the intuition to install a particular package with 
--nodeps.

My complaint is not gratuitous. I think RedHat is great, but not perfect. 
Just like you and me.
