I for one think that macros such as `%rhel` are antipattern. They
* prevent innovation * make the spec harder to read* make the life harder for proven packages doing some (mini-)mass rebuilds and trying to fix things
* tend to age similarly bad to comments in code (granted, there were recently introduced Packit ELN tests, so it is a bit easier to spot some breakage)

The Packaging Guidelines currently say this, under Spec Legibility: | To help facilitate legibility, only macros and conditionals for Fedora | and EPEL are allowed to be used in Fedora Packages. Use of macros and | conditionals for other distributions, including Fedora derivatives, is | not permitted in spec files of packages in the main Fedora | repositories unless those macros and conditionals are also present in | Fedora. <https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_spec_file_encoding> 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? Thanks, Florian
