Ok, then leave it out, but if it's your private TODO, then it shouldn't be in
the tarball ether. IMO shipping TODOs is good practice because it's useful for
people who are about to file RFEs and might encourage other developers to help
you.

Do as you like, but IMHO it should still be marked as %config. Other packages
are doing this too.

...I'm wishing back the days when config files were in /etc and not in /var/lib
and when files in /etc were true config files. ;)
