I see the use of rm commands all the time in spec files. Can anyone
explain why this is used instead of the %exclude directive? Not

Lack of education? Maybe the developer isn't aware of the %exclude, or would
rather just remove the files anyway. I use rm to remove static libraries
rather than exclude them.
