Note that the non-conffile-in-etc complaint is not absolute; there are
configuration things in /etc that aren't user configurables, like the files in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d.  This seems to be in the same vein, and from your description
it would be appropriate for that file to not be marked as %config.  The real
problem comes when files are marked %config but not %config(noreplace) as that's
explicitly saying that we expect the user to modify the file but we'll also
happly nuke their changes on package upgrades and force them to hunt down the
.rpmsave file and pull their changes back in.  Hence plain %config should be
used only very rarely.

About .so files used as plugins: If nothing ever links to them, they probably
should not live in the standard library directory.  Is it possible for these
files to live elsewhere?
