True, but note that the method documented in the Packaging Guidelines
no longer works either (IIRC, because DNF aborts the RPM transaction
early due to "file conflicts", as it cannot know that those would be
fixed by running the scriptlets). We'll probably need to figure out a
"modern" way to handle this scenario ...
