I'm not so convinced. If that's really something you want to do: why not copy
the shared libs along with the application ?

I'm not against having -static packages, but I'm not sure it's worth the
trouble either.
I'm not against concerned developers having an %ifdef build_static in their
spec files. I just think it should be off by default.
I'd rather users think of Fedora as secure, sleek, fast, with some tendancy to
the cutting edge...

It means they are tweaking packages anyway, and so should have no trouble
getting the static libs they might need.
