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

Neither do I. I just hope that my example is exceptional and the entry would be enough to list in `%excludes` section in most of the cases 😇



> Example of what I mean:

Huh, I think my brain is going to explode now thinking about the example :exploding_head: But does it mean that this would include the file after all?

~~~
%files
%{gem_instdir}/config

%excludes
%{gem_instdir}/config
~~~

Also, I believe that your examples are not really equivalent. Because one of the issues is that currently `%excludes` does exclude such item from package, but does not exclude it from other processing (which is actually one of the problems). This might also disqualify #2555
