I agree and that's why I use, when possible, built-in macros.

[I thought it was policy.]

I'm sure this has been discussed to death here before :-)

My take on this: if the results of running a build script depend on overriding a
basic core unix command by the script builder then I'd label that a bug in the
build script. While your example for rm sounds reasonable, it is not in the
context of executing a build script which, I think, cannot/should not be
interactive. Using the macro would actually expose (IMHO) a bug. I'm sure other
more applicable examples could be put forward, of course...

What I don't see is why %{__rm} should be different from any other unix command.
It is just a unix command... 

(I would prefer to keep using macros when possible. I understand this is
probably not so important these days, all builds are done in chroot environments
where they are completely isolated.)

Sounds good to me, I agree the version number should not be hardwired, otherwise
what's the use of macros? :-)

I'll wait a bit before releasing another version in case there are more changes.
