I think you may misunderstand what "Recommends" means. At install-time, it will
still be pulled into the system as if it was a "Requires:". The difference is
that if someone later decides to do 'dnf remove perl-foo', it can be removed
without also removing the main 'perl' package (which is what would happen if it
is a full "requires").
What does "Recommends" do on upgrade?
In other words if Recommends was used and a new perl version had new
modules in the core package would an upgrade of perl pull them in as you
would expect?
I don't see how it can unless it also reinstalls ones the user had
chosen to remove?
