So I actually just skimmed your proposal... I think the idea of
dropping from the .spec file stuff that we've already dropped
from the build system is a sound one, so unless there are
concerns about specific bits I'd say we should move forward
with this.

On the other hand... Why do we ship the .spec file in the first
place? Is Fedora, or any other distribution for that matter,
using it as-is? Or is it meant to be just for developers'
convenience?

Personally, I'd be happy having to maintain a single build
system and leaving downstream packaging to distributions. But
maybe that's just a consequence of my background in Debian
packaging :)

Cheers.
