I don't think removing the forge macros would be possible at this point, exactly for this reason. However, Go and Font packaging macros are the only things where using those macros is not optional, and in both cases, you're supposed to use wrapper macros so you're not even using the %forgefoo macros directly. So I don't think they need to be documented as a standalone feature any longer, especially since they don't really provide value for standard GitHub tarball downloads etc. compared to the "old" SourceURL guidelines we've had for years, and are no longer maintained. Should we remove documentation for them from the SourceURL guidelines page? It seems to cause more confusion than it solves problems.
