That's a sane attitude and IMHO is the current state of affairs: If the packager identifies that he shares specfiles across releases he grabs disttags to be able to keep the specfiles the same and not have to cache integers for managing concurrent releases. There are packages were disttags make no sense whatsoever like fedora-release(-notes), data packages, firmwares, very often fonts and so on. These should really not be disttagged only because it's custom to do so. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
