In case if anybody is interested,
after mass rebuild we've dropped roughly 27709 dependencies on libraries in
RPM metadata which means that size of primary.xml has decreased by 1.3M
which would be something like 100K in gzip archive.. Which is not very
much, but it was never primary goal and still

The real problem here is when you have complex frameworks like gtk.
pkg-config basically will link you against gdk, gdk-pixbuf, gtk and a lot
of other stuff. But in practice, not every application need to link against
all of them.

Note from Change Wrangler: This Change Proposal requires mass rebuild.
However, two weeks ago (June 19th), we have already passed the
deadline for Change proposals requiring mass rebuild. I will leave the
decision whether this Change proposal is accepted or not to RelEng and
