Yes, I do know about that, and use it in the makefiles that
build binary packages, so that there's actually not a problem
from my end.

Sadly, when I release what I'm doing as an srpm, and someone
thinks they can "rpmbuild --rebuild stoopidpkgfromlsbproject.src.rpm"
they then have it break if their system is using a recent rpm.
Which is why a change like this is kind of a pain... different
distros are using different versions of rpm, and I can't predict
what the default behavior should be (the default should not
have changed, for this reason).
