It used to be a lot more common, and likely still is somewhat common, in
the HPC community. You have several BLAS libraries to choose from,
several higher-level ones, too. Of course, by now they aren't really
binary compatible any more at all, so it makes this less possible.

That was probably a conscious decision.

So you end up with libfancyalgo-atlas-openmpi-devel and similar
packages.
