My motivation is to protect package maintainers and installers against * tools moving to different packages. * tools moving to different places. Actually, I would like to see a policy of this kind implemented: * All tools being used in rpm-scriptlets must be using an absolute path. * Each tool being used in rpm-scriptlets must be accompanied by a corresponding Requires(post|pre|preun|postun|..). IMO, this would help avoiding such changes breaking upgrade/update paths and would help avoid users to break their systems.
