yum "Requires" yum-plugin-fastestmirror; why?
...download site just refers visitors to git.centos.org, and the yum repo there doesn?t seem to have an upstream RHEL7 branch.
So, I started poking around in the yum.spec file history, and indeed, the oldest yum.spec file on the c7 branch doesn?t have that Requires line! It was introduced in checkin f1c1b982, which claims all it does is ?debrand yum-3.4.3-132.el7?.[2]
I realize it is in the CentOS project?s best interest if users always use the fastest mirror when downloading, but I claim that it is a bug to mark any plugin as Requires, particularly when upstream does not.
