The F7/devel build roots have already had the split package set for a while, 
and more than a few (build)dependent packages have been fixed already, right?  
Just wondering if instead of adding those newly split packages it would be 
better to just leave things as they are now and let rest of the affected 
packages have their build deps fixed over time whenever they get their next 
updates for whatever reason.
