valuable hint for me - didn't know it.

In Introduction you might add as a conclusion from your text: Even for
non programmers (but administrators / users )  one should make an rpm
package for all software, which the user will install from a tar ball
because no rpm is available or because he/she has to change its
behaviour. Because it is easier to administer the system.

Perhaps you should add a section after the Introduction with the titel
"goals and intended audience" of something like that. You should add
some information as

-  what can be learned here
-  what is different form generell rpm guides (as MaximumRPM)
   (perhaps: shorter / limited to essential? with features specific
   to the Fedora distribution?)
-  relation to the packaging guide of the extras project.
