And this is really not-negotiable, too.  Debian has the same 
requirements, it is not Red Hat/Fedora speciufic.  It is no different 
than the Python Code.  We dodn't pip install for RHOSP for the Python 
packages, and we can't use any of the language specific package managers.

But, we are used to it, and dealing with package dependencies is what we 
do.  Having these in Fedora, while painful, will be ultimately very 
valuable.
