You certainly have a good point here. I'm not suggesting to remove
Recommends; I think the concept of Recommends is good. However, there
is also a difference between Depends and Recommends. I think what I'd
like to see is:
Depends -> grave bug
Recommends -> normal (or important) bug
Suggests -> minor
Recommends is stronger than Suggests but it doesn't completely break
the package so imho it shouldn't be RC.
