The thing is that the reality have not changed since the #549. The
primary metadata still contains the data about /usr/bin and several
other directories as they used to and DNF still downloads entire file lists.
At that time, I was proposing to allow file dependencies generally. But
at the end, they are now more discouraged then they were previously. I
would love to see the guidelines changed, but I am not going to drive
it. One failure was enough.
