Um. And use what instead? The spec file format? Whose parser is the one of the most compilicated and loathed piece of code in rpm and would be difficult to lift out of librpmbuild to put it mildly, and slow every rpm startup in the process?

In contrast, the macro file format is a nice, declarative format that can be always safely read without side-effects. It could be extended without sacrificing that.
