Yep, thanks for clarifications. I have added the COMMON keyword now,
will be updating Wiki shortly.
One caution with subpackages: the disttag addition/mangling done by the
build system may cause fully versioned (including %{release}) subpackage
interdependencies using exact match ("=") to break, if the "COMMON" part
was built without a disttag and it requires another subpackage which
will be built with the disttag. Ditto the other way around. Versioned
dependencies without %{release} specified should continue to work, as
well as ">=" ones from disttagless towards packages with disttags. I
expect this to be a very rare situation, but nevertheless worth noting.
