Right, %dist is not mandatory in Fedora.
But Fedora is upstream for RHEL and we'll probably consider this as a bug in
RHEL once we import some Fedora packages.
I think it's better to fix it upstream rather than do our local fixes.
It being required for rhel does not make it a fedora bug. If you want to
fix it for YOUR packages, that's fine, but it's not everyone's problem.
Why we do it? For example, you can't push a rpm signed with two different
keys to Spacewalk channels (which happens when you use per-release signing
keys).
Therefore we have to make difference between NVRs and add %dist.
But fedora doesn't use spacewalk and we don't have the above problem.
