No, we only need it if we don't do the patterns in the right way as described above. Although people _know_ that dependencies are resolved automatically, according to the way they do patterns they have not yet _realized_ it.
possible :-)
as of bash, for example, there are very small app to replace unix commands (busybox) that could be used on very minimal system jdd
I am a firm believer in that rpm packages should depend on the functions they need. No rpm package should take for granted that something is installed in the "base" pattern. I also hate it when single rpm packages depends on patterns (not sure if this exist in openSUSE) they should depend on rpm packages. And also thinks that a pattern should not depend on rpm packages that other rpm packages included in the pattern also depends on, as there is no need for that. This is not a problem technical speaking it's just harder to maintain and confusing to people. I hope we can agree on this things so we know how to move on.
