Hi,
 While reviewing some fonts-* packages , I saw files being installed
under /usr are marked as %config in their SPECS as shown below
%config(noreplace) %verify(not md5 size mtime) %{ttfontdir}/fonts.alias
...
How to handle this issue?
IMO, the fonts.alias example is a fair use of %config that's ok in my book.
But we do want /usr to be "stateless". Although I can see that fixing
the fonts.alias issues may be non-trivial.

I agree. Ideally, /usr could be a filesystem mounted read-only. Somebody shoulda told those X11 guys that.

OTOH, fonts.alias is way-old legacy pre-fontconfig stuff anyway. Is xfs gone yet? (:
