He's talking about the fact that the current scriptlets hardcode NEVR's into the spec file. Which means if the spec file is updated on an earlier release is updated, the package in later releases also needs to be bumped.

Someone just needs to pick that proposal up and run the rest of the way to the finish. -Toshio
