Getting the fixes into Pyro has been my intention from the beginning, 
as I otherwise need to carry a number of backported bbclasses and other 
files in our layers, which is always a maintenance burden. The lack of 
of these fixes in Pyro is the main reason we have not been able to 
upgrade our distribution to Pyro yet.

I believe it will be possible to get all the changes into Pyro. The 
only thing that cannot be done by default is to enable it. However, 
it should be easy to make that conditional (basically the only thing 
needed is to determine whether --alldeps is passed to rpmdeps or not).
Once all the changes have landed in master, I can prepare a version 
for Pyro that does that.
