IIRC there already was such a discussion maybe half or a year ago... FYI: Currently you can't do a "rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT" in "%install" automagically, because it breaks rebuilding of the kernel package, looks somebody were to lazy to write something sane. I tried to enable this feature on my rpm5.org installation, but IIRC there is at least one further failure, too. Conclusion: Some Fedora Packaging Maintainers should write sane spec files first, there are other packaging issues, too (e.g. orphaned directories, dangling symlinks).
