Not so sure that the consistency argument is so strong that this is

change, it's going to be because we want to change the paths that they point
to for all packages. So we'd have to update any packages that use hardcoded
directories regardless of whether the hardcoded directories are also used
with %configure or not.
True, but if we kept the macros, then we could simply do a mass rebuild
instead of needing to edit %files.
