Hi!

I tried to find out which files on my upgraded fc40 installation are not
installed via dnf/rpm.
The list is surprisingly long.
Main reasons are symlinks and directories not defined in the spec file.
A quick check shows that this is also the case with a fresh installation.

I see three reason for having this clean:
*) Knowing which files comes from installations outside dnf/rpm.
   Maybe this is security related?
*) Making some kind of clever backup
   (list of RPMs and only additional/changed files)
*) Removal or Upgrade of RPMs/distribution should not left files behind.

Should this be (slowly) cleaned up or do I see this too strict?

PS.: Two of my packages had this also. :)

Best regards
Christoph
