[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Integrate ALT set-versions to improve ELF library dependency generation (Discussion #3634)

[Panu Matilainen]

> But the question I'd ask is simply: Is there value in having human-readable dependencies? Because, if there is, then it isn't great that this system produces dependencies that are just a set of hashes, and there is no way for a human to understand what is missing when something doesn't resolve.

A system that cannot provide user- and developer-understandable messages is a non-starter. Encoding and compressing is fine but the process needs to be reversable back so one can reason about it.

I've said no to this request more than once by now, my position hasn't changed.
