[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] [RFE] Please provide `%excludes` section (Issue #1852)

[Michal Domonkos]

Yup, people seem to be interested in having native support for excludes. What remains to be seen is whether want package-level excludes (i.e. a preamble tag such as `Exclude: pkg1 pkg2 ...` as discussed in #2555) or file-level ones (i.e. an `%excludes` section as proposed here).

> Note that the `%{gem_instdir}/config` is excluded form the main package, but then it is not obvious if it should not be included elsewhere. Therefore it is listed for the second time in the `%excludes` section to make it clear it is not forgotten and it should really be excluded.

This seems redundant, though. Why would you need an `%exclude` in the `%files` section at all in this case?
