Let me give a further example, I'll call it "source collision". There is nothing which prevents two independent packages from using a source file with the same name. The basic default rpm macros do not enforce per package source dirs, by default all packages share a common source dir. One source rpm is capable of overwriting another source rpm's files if they share a common name. There are only three ways to prevent this: 1) establish a rule which says every source file must be prepended with a unique string (i.e. the package name).
And even this would not be foolproof: a package called foo includes a source of 'bar-blah' that gets changed to 'foo-bar-blah' and then someone adds a foo-bar package with a source of 'blah'...
