Can we have `%check_before_install` and `%check_after_files`? Obviously with better names :) And leave the current %check intact. And then on the Packaging Guidelines level set which one, and when, the section should be used. It will not break 3rd party packages. And it will not break any Fedora package. They will "just" violate the guidelines. And we can slowly request edits over time.
