Using today's rawhide: https://src.fedoraproject.org/repo/rpm-specs-20170518.tar.xz

The results of the grep below are even smaller than I thought.  Spot checking,
the vast, vast majority of these are
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Directory_Replacement#Scriptlet_to_replace_a_symlink_to_a_directory_with_a_directory
which rpm-ostree doesn't need.  (We can not only atomically replace a directory
with a symlink, we could UsrMove, or for that matter switch your host OS from
CentOS 7 Atomic Host to Fedora 25 Atomic Host as an atomic swap - I tested that and it works.)

Anyways, the only one actually that I saw that isn't the dir-symlink thing is
in origin.spec for docker-excluder, which is basically irrelevant for rpm-ostree
based systems.
