> +there is a matching exclusion rule (also inclusive by default) or a flag that
+prevents the match.
+
+The path REs are matched against the packaged path, that is, without the
+*%buildroot* prefix (for example, _/bin/bash_). The magic REs are matched
+against the result of *magic*(5) classification and possibly the *FILECLASS* tag
+stored in the package (see *--fileclass* in *rpm*(8) for details).
+
+Flags are comma-separated lists specified with the following macros:
+
+```
+%__NAME_flags
+%__NAME_exclude_flags
+```
+
+Currently, the following flags are supported (Added: 4.9.1):

BTW 4.9.1 is such ancient history by now, I think we can safely drop that Added bit. 

The oldest Added mention prior to this is on 4.12.0 and that already seems a bit over the top. Okay, RHEL 7 and its contemporaries are still out there, so maybe that's one way to draw that line (ie 4.11)
