Ha! I can't believe the rhel stuff I added is still there.
We could probably mimic the old linux-kernel-test.patch which was a stub
patch to allow developers to quickly test their patches without mucking
with the spec file, but instead for config files (like the %rhel thing).
Now that I finally figured out how to use the fedpkg thing, I can actually
look at the spec file.
