I'm pretty sure I heard/read Chip say in the past that they used sblim
in regression testing :-) I think the Require is the result of RHEL
packaging where tog-pegasus was the only one present. Also I don't
know (but might exist) any construct allowing

Requires: tog-pegasus or sblim-sfcb

as you said the only way in rpm is to define a generic provide
(maybe more specific than just 'cim' what about 'cim-server') then
Requires: cim-server
in the libvirt-cim and add the Provides: cim-server in all server
packages. The only problem with that is that we ultimately need to
"fix" all packages.

The first thing would be to make bug requests against tog-pegasus
sblim-sfcb to have that added. Unfortunately I don't think we can
get this in RHEL-6.3 at this point...
