yum install rpm-build should install an rpmbuild version that works

Well I tend to agree: it would be the least surprising behaviour for most
fedora packagers.
I think it's a silly idea.
rpm-build is a generic tool and redhat-rpm-config is a redhat
specific/proprietary add-on/plugin to it.
Though I understand the point about keeping rpmbuild generic -
I don't see how pulling in redhat-rpm-config would break generic rpms?
Though I don't have a current example of current redhat-rpm-config
breaking generic rpms, history is full of such cases.
I think I BZ'ed several of them several years ago.
Surely most people have it installed anyway.
Well, fedora packagers will have it installed, because
fedora-packager pulls it in.
