I'm having a hard time getting excited about this, and an even harder
time believing that it's something that should be mass-applied. Even
when an SRPM is code-wise identical across multiple branches (and at
least for my packages that's the exception not the norm), the
corresponding spec files are *never* identical; they have at least
different changelog histories. So I have basically zero use for a
dist macro.
