FWIW: %optional is directly at odds with "reproducible" builds and does little 
more than skip a hard error failure for no stated usage case.

Attributing this to rpm5.org is rather bogus: the %optional implementation is 
nothing I remember seeing, and smells of Per Oyvind's wild hacking in 
OpenMandriva.

But perhaps I am going senile ... Whatever.

Is there any reasonable usage case for marking a file %optional?
