The Packaging Committee has been discussing guidelines for init scripts for a while. Currently there is a split between init scripts being marked as %config and many that aren't. We (the PC) with input from various folks feel it is best to not mark init scripts as %config, and instead promote configuration to happen in an /etc/sysconfig/<init> file. Mostly the reason being that init scripts are just that, scripts to run and not config files to edit.
Will rpmlint be amended to report a warning (error?) for this?
