rpmbuild "changed without notice!%/$/" ?  

It had a 30 month phase-in.  The matter was noted when it
first appeared -- rpm-3.0.4 (March 2000); became preferred at
rpm-4.0.3 (Devember 2001); and was only removed as a 'popt' 
'rpm' option in RHL 8.0 (rpm 4.1.0 - September 2002)

  /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.0.4/CHANGES
  - in the release notes for rpm: 
    4.0.2 -> 4.0.3:
      ... - document build modes in rpmbuild.8, rpmbuild is born.
   (rpm-4.0.3 went into formal release)  

  - has been repeatedly discussed on rpm-list for two and an 
half years

  - is the subject of a summary web page at:
