Agreed it's not worth it.  Also, couldn't we add a "--nobody" or 
somesuch instead, and make it part of the guidelines to use it when 
you're using "-p /sbin/ldconfig" or anything else where a body makes no 
sense?  That seems like it would eliminate most of the cases, and the 
most common cases can easily be checked in rpmlint.
