This is done and redhat-rpm-config is rebuilding.

However, I don't think enough consideration was given to the upgrade
path. As I raise on IRC, due to this change rpm will now consider *all*
local config files to have been changed by the user and use .rpmnew
files at upgrade time. I don't think enough consideration has been given
to this, to the impact upon upgrade, or to the need to ensure that
everyone doing an upgrade is aware of this.
