Look at cfgmgr/plugins/datasrc_config_plugin.py. It is a cfgmgr plugin
(see src/bin/cfgmgr/plugins/README) which requires isc.dns and
isc.datasrc Python modules. You can skip this plug-in when only DHCP
components are in use.

FWIW, note that libdns++ (a DNS library) is a requirement for both DNS
and DHCP components, so it is technically "core". The isc.dns module
contains Python bindings for libdns++, but it's not used by DHCP.

The new BIND 10 beta has --disable-dns and --disable-dhcp configure
arguments, but I guess you won't be using these while making packages
for Fedora.
