Excellent, thank you :)

I read through the minutes, and rewrote it as a guidelines draft and added
it to DraftsTodo; I took out the %perl_default_filtering bits and can either
propose those separately or can just take them up as potentially being
included as an /etc/rpm/macros.perl in the main perl package.  I also
included an admonition to be careful of using this sort of filtering in a
multilib situation, due to Panu's comments.

The revised macros (no changes, really, just split out the %perl_... bit)
are out at:
