Yes, you have a point there. But *for me* the benefits overweight the
"sounds wrong to me" part.

Well, yes, that could happen. But I think that's a corner case. if the
maintainer runs "make tag" then he has a reason to -- e.g. he changed
something. And when he changes something he should always update release
left of %{?dist}.

Well, that's afaics a general problem if somebody tries to build
something in updates that has a lower %{release} as in the released repo.
