You see, I'm pointed out to this at least 3 times in different thread, this
conditionals are wrong 😉
%if 0%{?rhel} && 0%{?rhel} <= 7
Requires: ...
%else
Recommends: ...
%endif
Because if you use your condition, at some point RHEL N+1 will be branched and
maintainers of that will have to go through each spec and fix it. This is what
is happening now with Python packages.

But people keep doing that.
What I'm trying to say here is that each time we want to implement some feature
in Fedora, we either need to have some replacement in EPEL or diverge Fedora
branches from EPEL branches. Having replacement is not always possible,
especially if we start utilizing new (actually 8 years old) features of RPM.
