Maintaining a single spec with disttag conditionals is great, and makes the world a lot easier.... *if* you are maintaining the same source version of the package across all distros.  Once you split source versions (as Steve said generally with rawhide)...  its not really practical to maintain a single spec and you end up with multiple buildroots/specs.
