I added a point about adjusting Packaging Guidelines to Scope section
in the Change proposal.

I don't think we want to drop %_sbindir anytime soon: people use the
same specs for older Fedora releases, CentOS, RHEL, OpenSUSE, etc, and
undefining %_sbindir would require a lot of updates and make it harder
to share the specs. OTOH, keeping the one-line definition of the macro
costs nothing.

I added that to Summary now:

  The definition of %_sbindir will be changed to %_bindir, so packages
  will start using the new directory after a rebuild without any
  further action. Maintainers may stop using %_sbindir, but don't need
  to.
