A new section on Macros has been added to the Packaging Guidelines,

What's the rationale behind having these in /etc? This is hardly user
configuration, and only ever used if people build their own RPMs. We
really should try harder not to clutter /etc with stuff that is not
configuration.
Why not have this somewhere below /usr?
Because rpm doesn't have a drop-in directory for macros anywhere in
/usr, nobody has asked for one before this, and while I agree on
"/etc admin purity" being a good thing generally, it has not been
(and still isn't) enough of a reason to make it worth the pain for
me to personally drive such a move.
OpenSUSE has this in /usr/lib/rpm/macros instead. Makes a lot of sense
to copy that scheme from them and making the delta between the distros
here a bit smaller.
Ehh? /usr/lib/rpm/macros is and has always been rpm's own "factory
default" configuration *file*. In Suse, Fedora and every rpm based
distro I know of. Suse patches the upstream config directly to suit
their purposes, in Fedora-land the distro defaults are set in
/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros, but that's also a just a file, not a
directory where you can drop in bits and pieces of extra macros from
different packages. Obviously Suse could've added a drop-in macro
directory of their own but looking at their factory rpm sources, I
see no evidence of that.
Oops, sorry, I was misinformed on this one. Still believe it belongs in
/usr though.
Sory for the confusion.
