For the few cases that can't or won't comply, then having rpm (optionally?) make the originals available would be fantastic for system management
how many copies would you like to store in the rpm database and how to access them in a useful manner
define "originals" when the system was installed versus current state? worthless - most of my Fedora setups are from 2008 the current and the previous version?well, you need to handle cases where a config file is unchanged but the package is updated, that's the majority of all updates
honestly:that all violates the unix principles one tool for one task and there are tools available for config file management many years, people interested just need to use them, "etckeeper" is integrated in dnf/yum and makes a versioned "snapshot" of /etc before and after updates are applied
