Adding macro usage without adding the macros to "something like

Historically, the plan has always been to add the macros to such a
package. Hearing about "resistance" is news to me.
It is already unexpected and inconvenient enough to need "--define fedora
6" or similar when rebuilding some packages.
I see criticism here for how we use the buildsystem, but I don't see an actual
opinion as to making these macros work on the installed system.
I assume from your last sentence that you're in favor, but I'd rather not make
assumptions.
