Jason, this is very not transparent.  Please always post links for FPC
decisions about such things!  Not everybody (me personally) looks at FPC
tickets.

My point is that neither from redhat-rpm-config nor from fedora-rpm-config
git-log I see where you've been discussing this across fedora board and thus I
don't really see _what are the real benefits_ of such package (even though
this is probably perfectly valid).

Also, what scared me, you've made 'redhat-rpm-config' "Requires:
fedora-rpm-macros", so this is basically in every fedora build root.
And I see little benefit of having those macros separated, because there
is the same "possibility" to break something.  It just looks like we are
going to have a troubles to get this into CentOS/RHEL/EPEL.

What I always disliked about 'redhat-rpm-config' is it's name.  That
should be named like 'os-rpm-config' --- but that would be about package
rename process, not about yet another macro package ...

Please make this movement clear, thanks!
