We want to keep the cycle as small as possible. For example, even
though rpmlint is included in every build root and it is written in
python, it is not part of the bootstrap cycle because it is replaced by
a special package rpmlint-mini that contains copies of the python files
and dependencies from the rpmlint package. That shows how important it
is to keep python out of the equation.
