I would like to get this changed to explicitly permit %fedora, %rhel,
%centos, %epel. And augment this list with %hummingbird, now that
Hummingbird images are part of the Fedora family.
What's the best way to build consensus for this kind of a change to the
Packaging Guidelines, and implement it?
Open a ticket (or a ticket and a PR) at
https://forge.fedoraproject.org/packaging/guidelines
I also think allowing %fedora, %rhel, %centos, %epel (and %eln, following ELN
rules about that) should not be controversial and pretty much reflects the reality.
Not sure about %hummingbird, as there is probably not much usage. Do we know
more information about macros in Hummingbird's build environment?
