At the moment the way I see it, and the way that probably reflects the realities at the moment is something that is marked as recommends in most cases is something that is not essential but that the packager feels will make life better for most users.
What all the various individual packagers at openSUSE "feel" cannot lead to RPM dependencies that behave consistently for our end-users. See my reasoning https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2018-02/msg00924.html where I describe why I currently think - what RPM packages need to be installed to normally use the system for a particular use-case must be defined "outside" of the normal software packages (i.e. that must be defined only via patterns) - also recommended stuff cannot be defined via RPM recommends of normal software packages but recommended stuff must also be defined via patterns - in the end only RPM requirements are needed and RPM recommends are actually superfluous I got no response whether or not my above reasoning (you need to read my whole mail) is at least basically right or if I do perhaps misunderstand something.
