Well, they aren't configuration files that the admin would want to edit.
And Axel has some good points so based on information so far, I'd say
rpmlint should be ignored here.

Not sure what I think when configuration files are involved as I think
Axel's points and mine would run smack dab into each other there.  Guess
we'll have to reevaluate if we run across a case where that occurs.
