To complement the following verify options:
[--nolinkto] [--nofiledigest] [--nosize] [--nouser] [--nogroup] [--nomtime] 
[--nomode] [--nordev] [--nocaps]
I would like to suggest the following new options:
[--noconfiglinkto] [--noconfigfiledigest] [--noconfigsize] [--noconfiguser] 
[--noconfiggroup] [--noconfigmtime] [--noconfigmode] [--noconfigrdev] 
[--noconfigcaps]

The implementation should be fairly self explanatory, if --noconfigfiledigest 
is requested, the intended behaviour should be that the filedigest check is not 
performed for files that are marked as %config

The rationale:
rpm -Va is a quick and powerful way to check that a system is in a good/healthy 
state.
I wish to use it for system monitoring checks, but the command currently 
produces too much output to be feasible.
My intended invocation would be rpm -Va --nomtime --noconfigfiledigest 
--noconfigsize.

I have implemented similar functionality to the above in perl and python 
scripts and believe this would be a beneficial addition to the rpm cli tool
