And you cannot see the problem there? So it is already there - in three
different articles - and has to be changed *everywhere* if some small
aspect of rpm building changes.

Having to change that in *one* place and let all other places link to
that is a much cleaner approach.

Still: People tend to go to the CentOS wiki for finding information (or
they are pointed to it). And I'd like to have information like that
available *in* the wiki where more than one person can change it should
the need arise.
