We should be more specific about that.
For example, it should be clear that if I am packaging new .macros
file for F19, it should go into /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d without other
conditions. Now, it is small remark squeezed into brackets, which
will be skipped when you skim through the guidelines.

Excellent. /me does his share to prevent flamewars for the day.
Hint: I don't have time for this discussion for the next two weeks, (I'm at
a conference), but if you do, you can raise just this aspect on devel list

highly unproductive shouting match.
