Thanks to take the time for this explicit explanation.  
In particular because this "missing piece" resurfaces 
the same discussions. A candidate for the wiki (if not 
already there).

Is it a good idea to reflect this consequently via %{dist} (e.g el5_11 el6_7)??
This should not conflict with upstreams package versioning. Despite that some
packages stay on the same version while the distribution is moving forward. 
But it shows the relation like acme.1.el6_4.3 is for 6.4 or higher. Not sure 
if upstream is using it in that conceptual manner: Following upstream listing 
shows some ambiguous %{dist} tags, thought.
