Ideas for progress:
- [ ] Open a [ticket at Fedora Packaging
Committee](https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issues) or better send a PR to
[File and Directory
Ownership](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_file_and_directory_ownership)
([source](https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/blob/master/f/guidelines/modules/ROOT/pages/index.adoc#_1379))
explaining why `%exluding` files completely from packages is dangerous and not
intended to work and that it MUST not be done.
- [ ] Work with @voxik to change the rubygem package generator.
- [ ] Work with me to solve the Python namespace package issue. For example in
[this bugzilla](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1935266). Maybe
`%ghosting` is a way to go.
- [ ] Open a ticket on
[rpmlint](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpmlint/) to detect
completely `%exluded` files. Not sure if it is technically possible, but worth
a shot.
- [ ] Open a ticket on [FedoraReview](https://pagure.io/FedoraReview) to detect
completely `%exluded` files. Should be possible.
- [ ] In `%files`, collect the list of `%exluded` files and see if all of them
are actually packages somewhere. If not, issue a warning that could be knob-ed
to an error.
Note that those ideas are not dependent on each other and can happen at
different timelines.
