"The Emacs add-on packaging guidelines no longer stipulate that
packages which
also bundle support for Emacs should split out those Emacs files into separate
sub-packages. This package should instead ship those files with the main
package which should also Require emacs-filesystem. See
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Emacs for more detail."
And once again the wording is weak. It says "should". Three times even.
Based on that, calling existing emacs- subpackages "violations" is a
highly questionable thing to do. And new packagers would prefer more
clear and concise wording, too.
