This has not been true for many years (see mock, plague and koji). Fedora packages are built in an environment that only includes the dependencies the packages declare.

The problem is not so the plumbing or infrastructure as having people willing to package and maintain X versions of the same python modules (fighting against the upstream build scripts all the time).

It does you little good to have half your python stack one side, and half the other.
