 > > As part of the FPC discussion of making SCLs official and this ticket,
 the decision has been made that SCL macros are not allowed in the
 mainstream spec files.
 >
 > When has this decision been made and where is it in guidelines? AFAIK it
 is customary to write specfiles according to *current* guidelines and when
 new guidelines come in effect, old-style specfiles are "grandfathered" (I
 believe that is the term for "they don't need to be touched assuming they
 still work"). At the time the python-nightly branches were created I
 didn't see (and I still don't see) any part of guidelines that they'd
 break. Therefore I don't see why I should remove them.

 FPC had discussed this and quickly decided that separation was going to be
 the foundation of the way SCLs would be managed in Fedora.  Since you want
 it to be official, I made a draft and it was approved at last week's FPC
 meeting.  Guidelines have been updated to reflect that.
