Yes __BUT__

I'd argue that /etc/rpm/sysinfo/* content is not rpm configuration  
related because:

     Macros are not used, and there is no direct means to %define a  
macro within
     the content store.

However, part of the reason for attempting to get a predictable  
__DIRECTORY__
structure for RPM store is to attach other useful information like / 
etc/rpm/sysinfo
and specspo and pubkeys and .file triggers and ... for use by rpm.

A more predictable store hierarchy will only make it easier to get  
beyond macros
and rpmppot configuration to more interesting usage cases like /etc/ 
rpm/sysinfo imho.
