For all the disabler switches in rpm, there's no way to disable %config file special handling. Various use-cases include, but probably not limited to:

  • reinstall package to clean state
  • when uninstalling something, you often want the configs gone too

Originally came up at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1921620

Having something along the lines of a "purge" mode would make some sense. It would be very appealing for mass system management purposes to be able to do that.

Yup, that's exactly the use-case I was referring to.
