I wonder why we don't provide a completely empty build system to the packager.
The packager gets an - *almost* - empty buildroot. What can be dropped and what's better left in is a constant Work In Progress. For example, with 12.2, automake,autoconf,libtool all were removed from the installed-by-default set.
Arguably, removing gcc and make from the default set is not as useful as it is for timezone, as so many more packages depend on it. But maybe in due future time, we will also be there and require BuildRequires: binutils, make, gcc, .. like some other distros already do.
which (given proper meta-packages) would be nicer if written as BuildRequires: c-devel or qt-devel for others, so that the sets of programs could be extended without every depending program needing to be updated. Then we could finally build perl/python/ruby rpms without having gcc. On the downside it would be quite some effort to update everything else.
