podman works with both crun and runc, even though crun support is more prioritized. Users might want to use podman with runc (for their own reasons, like this user) and shouldn't be forced to have both runc and crun installed.
There is conmon-rs project (I'll try packaging it soon) that doesn't work with podman yet, but they are trying to: https://github.com/containers/conmon-rs/issues/1127.
I can add an installation note if that is necessary.
Side note: the same can be said for netavark / cni, but RedHat encouraged people to use netavark and described its advantages over cni, so it can stay as a hard dependency.
