While a package was being reviewed, the reviewer picked up on a use of the 'dos2unix --keepdate' command:

The guidelines do indeed say not to use dos2unix, because quote "that can cause build fail on FC3" (like I care).

This discussion has ranged far afield of the original post.
So, does anyone know of a reason to keep the dos2unix warning? Does it affect EPEL4? If that's the only place we need to worry about, we should mention it but see no reason to definitively say not to use it.
