My suspicion at this point is that the past FPC/Fesco guidelines wee 
wrong, and the present tooling restriction is not just about 
rich/Boolean dependencies, but also about weak dependencies.

Zero support for weak dependencies would actually be okay, sort of.  The 
problem is that something treats the Recommends: as a Requires:, like 
yum does (bug 1360781).
