Unless I've misunderstood... '%config initscripts' are no longer legal
so if a customer has valuable information in that script it will be
lost... But that will be THEIR fault for putting there!!!!! And the
Fedora community will teach them that lesson... Unfortunately
the hard way... :-\

With policies like this (i.e. not allowing maintainers to preserver
existing environments) truly give the appearance that this community
really don't give a damn about anything but their own way of
doing things... Very similar to Microsoft... Won't you say?
