The right way IMHO would be to enable the rpath checks on the buildsys,
so the build fails if rpath show up that are not whitelisted in the spec
file. Then way people notice the rpath and in most cases fix them; new
rpath further get noticed immediately, and we all save time as we don#t
have to file bugs :-) .

The checks are *iirc* enabled for the Extras builders. We should make
sure they get enabled for the new Fedora builders, too.
