As I said, I'm more than open to different opinions and the merits of these
approaches.  You claimed I'd done "actual harm" to Fedora, effectively saying
that your opinions are fact and empirically quantifiable.  I welcome and seek
feedback, as this isn't dicta but rather an evolving process; but simply
slamming the practice, citing "actual harm", and then claiming that "..a
guideline will be needed" isn't very constructive.

How about, instead of bashing, we sit down and try to work out how to best do
this -- that is, including the test suite in some form that satisfies both of
us and benefits the community as a whole.

I'd like to see the evidence of any concrete harm done specific to including
the test suites in %_docdir, but I haven't seen any yet, despite repeated
requests.  If there is actually any harm caused here, I'd like to correct it.
