Actually, I am pretty sure that it saves all the new files as ".rpmnew"
files. All the config files are %config(noreplace) in the spec file.

So your existing defaults.cfg and individual chroot configs would
remain as they are.

The only thing you would need to do to continue running would be to add
the new config option to your FC<=7 to use the old buildsys-build rpm.

I would probably push this to -devel at first and wait a little while
before pushing to FC6/7, but at this point in time, I dont have any
intention of branching for something this trivial.

Jesse, Clark,
    How about I just change the -devel .cfg files to use the
groupinstall commands and back out the mock.py default change? This
would leave all of the config files with the exact install command they
need. Leave this for one release, and then add the mock.py default
change in the next release. This would give everybody time enough to get
their configs updated so they dont break.
