I would be more stringent than that and require packages to transit into non-%config init files. E.g. to make a temporary exception and explicitely say that this exception will be lifted later. The migration should be done in the new package's %prein script.
Why would changing from %config to non-%config require changes in the scriplets at all?
The above referred to the following part of the draft:
"A valid exception to this rule would be existing packages where configuration is still done via the init file. In this case, the init file could be marked as %config to preserve a users configuration upon upgrade, hopefully so that the user can migrate said configuration to a new /etc/sysconfig/<service> config file."
Does it make more sense now?
