The issue is it's breaking the mash which indeed affects all Fedora versions. Until the tooling is moved from yum to dnf then it's not safe to use the booleans in requires or recommends. The reason suggest is left out is that yum currently recognise that tag (but it does the others) so it doesn't cause mash to fail.
