I wonder... is this a job for the repoquery script that people have been pimping? Can we get a full summary of information about unowned directories by examining the owned files of all the packages in Core and seeing which directory trees are explicitly not included in that list? Instead of doing a full install running rpm -qf like mad? If we can script this with repoquery just against the repository metadata it will be far easier for everyone to keep up with this as packages churn.
That could work, I was actually thinking about making rpmbuild check for unowned dirs during rpm building, like it does for unpackaged files now.
The idea: If a package contains a file which is in a dir (component) which is not owned by, filesystem or any of its dependencies, complain.
Preferrably complain loudly (as in refuse to write the final RPM)
