You are conflating technical implementation of change with a
relationship.  If you meant to say "Fedora spec changes are not pulled
into a RHEL release directly after a major change", that's fine.  That
isn't what you said though.  My response was to point out that A LOT
of people still care.

Even on the technical part, the spec files might not be directly
imported but as others have indicated elsewhere, Fedora changes
between major RHEL releases are still relevant to a number of
packagers.  The same change might be reflected in both places in
different ways due to different requirements and process.

Perhaps that is a bit of a higher level conversation than what you
were focusing on, but I really want people to understand this
importance.  Seeing statements that indicate otherwise paints an
incorrect picture.
