F20 System Wide Change: Change Packaging Guidelines to discourage requires into /bin and /sbin

= Proposed System Wide Change: Change Packaging Guidelines to discourage
requires into /bin and /sbin =
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoBinDeps

Change owner(s): Ales Kozumplik <ales@redhat.com>

Disallow dependencies on files under /bin, /sbin, /lib and /lib64.

== Detailed description ==
The current packaging guidelines read:

"Whenever possible you should avoid file dependencies outside of /etc, /bin,
/sbin, /usr/bin, or /usr/sbin."

I propose changing this to:

"Whenever possible you should avoid file dependencies outside of /etc,
/usr/bin, or /usr/sbin."

Related FPC ticket [1]: FPC wanted this change to be created.

== Scope ==
Proposal owners: None
Other developers: replace all explicit /bin/<foo> requires with
/usr/bin/<foo>.

Release engineering: N/A
Policies and guidelines: update the packaging guidelines accordingly.
