There are LONG discussion threads on the Fedora bugzilla how this is this super cool thing that allows you to do super important things and how it's totally ok that this breaks stuff because it's super cool.

OK, I may be paraphrasing slightly - but that's pretty much what I took away from them.

You'll see bugs like this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2055863 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2055863> which say "oh well" and then nothing happens.
And stuff like this https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2043178 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2043178> that says "oh, we fixed it for this specific package by hacking around it".

But what I haven't found, yet, is something that explains why I want these package_notes and why Fedora 36 enabled them even though it breaks so many things...
