Hi,
there seems to be confusion on f-m about whether %config* files ahve a place in /usr or not. I think it is quite evident that FHS and stateless goals rather forbid any %config bits under /usr and wouldn't really need any explicit mentioning.
But as this created a lengthy thread being refueled every now and then, and the same may happen in the future again, maybe that's worth a clarification in the guideline?
/me hopes that the FPC will simply vote on that w/o creating another lengthy thread.

Just to throw something in to vote upon:
| Proposal: Append to the section "Configuration files" | | Don't use %config or %config(noreplace) under /usr. /usr is deemed | to not contain configuration files in Fedora. If your package needs | a config file under /usr for upstream reasons try for example to | move it to under /etc and place a symlink to it.
