What is the point of this? Hi, my name is rpm -qi sssd
Not a *bad* feature per-se, but kind of strange for the default. I do
like the build in the --version output for when you are testing
scratch builds or cherrypicking fixes from git and testing things.
Well, it's primarily targeted at non-RPM distributions that can't do a
simple 'rpm -q'. It also comes in handy for producing scratch builds (so
you can mark a build as unofficial, for example).
