Hmph.

Once it gets to the point where our "spec" file is so out of sync with anybody's RPM based distribution in the real world, I suspect that removing and not shipping it in tree might be more helpful to the users. Or at least have a set of pointers, one for each major RPM based distribution, where to obtain spec file more tailored for their platform, at the beginning of it, or something.

Have we already reached that point?  Does anybody still use it?
