About cron files and rpmlint

Hi, rpmlint complains about cron files, is that a bug?

For example:

tmpwatch.x86_64: E: executable-marked-as-config-file
/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
Executables must not be marked as config files because that may prevent
upgrades from working correctly. If you need to be able to customize an
executable, make it for example read a config file in /etc/sysconfig.
