Even you could!

This is (however) just a technical problem with the rpm format that
might get solved in the future. Debian packages for example need no such
dependency.

However, one could argue that your logic also implies that gimp has a
dependency on gimp-devel (both gimptool and gimp requite gimp-devel to be
used to its full potential).

PS: did you get the cd already?
