The problem here, is that Cooker is always in constant evolution, but at the same time, you are not allowed to upload new packages into Cooker. You have to e-mail QA all the time, and these changes are manual, unfortunately. So instead of having to wait for a week for the package to be accepted manually into Cooker, and not being able to work on my packages during that time, the solution is to *temporarily* put packages into Contribs. In the case of db4, I'm still waiting for the decision from my manager to include it into Cooker main. In the case of php-xslt, it is due to the fact that Mozilla used to provide libjs1, but no longer does, for an unknown reason. So I had to manually create an RPM. Maybe the Mozilla packager will re-put libjs1 into Mozilla, I don't know, I'm still waiting for the answer. In the case of ADVX-build, Apache 1.3 will be moved to Contribs, while Apache 2.0 will be moved to Cooker. This should be complete within a week. In conclusion, as a general rule, the final distrib must not depend on any contribs packages, but as Cooker is the *development* version, I think we should be a bit more flexible, as packages can move from one tree to the other, depending on the available space on the final CDs. If it were only me, I would put *all* Apache modules and their Requires and BuildRequires into the Main distro, but I don't think this can be acceptable, since we would have to remove some packages to make some room.
