Could someone explain to me why repotags were not secure enough to
answer this question, but dumping a cleartext file in %doc is?

My point was that while 1) would appear to be a reasonable thing to do, it's a solution to wrong problem. Those readme files aren't there to tell the user where the package came from, but to document packaging specific issues such as deviations from upstream behavior, default paths etc.

Duh, that should be "2) would appear..."

Need more coffee, desperately.
