Based on the recent discussions around %fedora/%rhel macros and ELN, and %bcond generally being confusing to work with, I came up with a distribution-wide feature that defines generic feature keywords and associated helper macros that packages can check in build-time conditionals.
The key advantage here is the defaults are defined by the buildroot, not the package. The package is just a building block.
I'd like some input to improve this and unless this turns out to be a really bad idea, I intend to submit it as a change proposal. Even though the more packages use it the more beneficial it gets, it's, of course, perfectly optional.

Should the use flags be automatically recorded in Provides of binary packages? Package A "Provides: A(+feature)" Then package B may 'Requires: A(+feature)"
That semantics is implemented in Gentoo.
