Can't speak from an implementation point of view but you must be a
mind-reader. Several people will appreciate the thought behind it,
myself included. On #fedora-kernel recently:

<kylem> i really find it irritating that i need to edit Patchxx: *and*
add an ApplyPatch.
* kylem ponders converting the spec file to use quilt.
<j-rod> fark
<j-rod> not a fan of that either
<jwb> why not j-rod ?
<f13> I think he meant he's not a fan of editing twice.
<f13> not that he wasn't a fan of quilt.
<jwb> oh
<kylem> i always forget to do one or the other :\

Cheers!
