But let's not get caught up with this or other word games. I don't think anyone is playing word games here.

And Stepan's suggestion at end of comment 9 (+ some real thought > from the packagers whether to ship the tests) would be an improvement in the > meantime. Good. With perl now shipping /etc/rpm/macros.perl we have a good vehicle for delivery of any helper macros. > > I'd like to see the evidence of any concrete harm done specific to including > > the test suites in %_docdir, but I haven't seen any yet > > The reasons given in comment 8 demonstrate why I think this stuff is harmful. > IMO it makes affected packages worse than they would be without those issues, > which I think qualifies this practice as harmful.

If there's other "evidence", that is, something "actively harmful", I'd appreciate it if you could point it out, so I could at least own up to it and fix it. > I think it's about time we let this bug rest in peace and continue the > discussion in another more appropriate medium in case someone still has > something to say.
