To speed this up - +1.

I'd welcome if FPC could take a look to make sure that the specific proposed patch to redhat-rpm-config is correct (to minimize the risk of having to do another mass rebuild).

+1 from me.

So as not to take unnecessary credit, mitr is the one who added this to the mass rebuild tracker.

Usually FPC has the packaging-team or the redhat-rpm-config maintainer look at the changes to redhat-rpm-config.

I don't really feel too strongly about this, I guess I am a weak +1 as it does help some use cases.

I am +1 to this - frankly the versioning of doc dirs always irritated me

+1

I'd be +1 to this as well; stable paths for documentation are a good thing.

%_docdir_fmt patch for redhat-rpm-config

The intended redhat-rpm-config patch is attached -- I've checked Mageia and openSUSE and they define it this way too.
