If we’re going to recommend migration to anything, shouldn’t it be enchant2? Users would
be able to configure their preferred spellchecking engine per language (which I imagine is

Hunspell as our default spellchecker.
+1 here. If we have to convince upstream to migrate to a different
default spellchecker, I think it's better to push enchant2. If it is
about having the package maintainer build their package against another
spellchecker, hunspell is fine, but drop a note about enchant2 is preferred.
I'd also like to raise attention to what I think is a misleading Change
Summary:
Deprecating aspell package because it is no longer
Required/Buildrequired by any package in Fedora.
This is clearly not true, as the
change is about migrating package to
another spellchecker.
