For [Fedora CoreOS](https://coreos.fedoraproject.org/) we'd like to avoid shipping Python in the base OS. Today nfs-utils shows up as one of the things we would like, but includes Python. ``` $ rpm -ql nfs-utils | grep bin/ | xargs grep bin/python /usr/sbin/mountstats:#!/usr/bin/python3 /usr/sbin/nfsiostat:#!/usr/bin/python3 ``` Options: 1) Split off nfs-utils-core with just the core things like /usr/sbin/mount.nfs, the services, etc. 2) Split off nfs-utils-extra with those two scripts Something else?

Maybe just split off a -extra... leave nfs-utils name the same. So you are taking about having a sub package (%package) of nfs-utils or a completely separate package?
> So you are taking about having a sub package (%package) of nfs-utils or a completely separate package? I'd probably say sub-package but I really don't have a strong opinion. Do you? If you let us know which you prefer I think we could have someone from the CoreOS team do the work if that's OK by you.

I was thinking a sub package simpler to a -devel package... but I don't know the packaging rules that surround things like that.
