Can you elaborate on those use cases?  I know of "repository mirror" as
a use case that's librepo only.  But even there, I ended up wanting a
tool that could mirror a subset of a repo, and then you need depsolving.

For hawkey, I can't really think of a use case where you wouldn't want
the ability to fetch yum repositories.

Are your projects public?

The two current consumers of libhif I know of are: - PackageKit -
rpm-ostree
