I don't see what's wrong about the conditionals. Usually, the packages just 
work across releases with few to no conditionals. Occasionally, there is a 
conditional. It is still usually not worth letting the branches diverge. I 
only maintain different specfiles per branch if I actually want to ship 
different versions of the upstream software there.

And also, is the fancy Modularity everyone except me is so excited about not 
actually about moving towards the one specfile for all Fedora releases 
model, among other things? But of course, the shared specfile can also 
easily be done without Modularity, with fast-forward merges as it has always 
been done.
