After a long discussion with notting and others we figured out that we could collapse out a lot of duplicate requirements from pkgs if we collapsed the libc.so.6* requirements to the highest symbol version.
(just piping the libc.so.6 requirements to sort and taking the last one in the output) then we'd reduce total requires metadata in rawhide by 17%.
I can provide a patch for find-requires if it would help.
