This is big and old-school hammer. If you did "git cherry-pick" instead,
you could get most of the changes you did in master without the

stuff like changelogs from mass rebuild, which should not be there IMO.
Cherry-picking and diverging changelogs mean one keeps having to manually
fix conflicts. With the one specfile with conditionals, I only have to do a
fast-forward merge and build, which is a lot more convenient.
Until you get confused by conditionals' magic, bitten by unexpected
behavior, bugs or compatibility problems in the different verions of rpm
or rpm-macros.
That said, I prefer avoiding conditionals and prefer clean,
"one-spec-per release" rpm.specs.
But keep in mind that I don't do EPEL, so my conditionals are few and far
between, and I will remove conditionals for EOL Fedora releases.
So do I. IMHO, mixing epel specs with fedoras specs is a lost battle.
It's error-prone at best and hardly possible in "more than trivial" cases.
