For completeness, here is a pull request by Miro Hrončok to change the
packaging of curl to something that FESCO would like to have for the
proposed Fedora change to be accepted:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/curl/pull-request/14
Advantages:
- libcurl-full can be automatically installed as a dependency in a dnf
transaction without the need to use `--allowerasing` or `dnf swap`.
Disadvantages:
- It is incompatible with the current packaging used since RHEL-8.
- It allows to install both libcurl-minimal and libcurl-full together.
- It relies on complex RPM scriptlets to manipulate symlinks, which
may misbehave in some corner cases, resulting in broken dnf stack.
