Filtering works on *any* attribute of *any* action. You can filter out a single file based on path, or any files with mode=0644, etc. This is a lot of rope. The point behind variants and facets is to let the packager define what filters were actually intended to be used -- what's supportable. You can always go off the reservation with filters if you want, but you really are on your own.
