This has been discussed many many times. The packaging guidelines have been updated to say globs "SHOULD NOT" be used [1], and I think there is a broad agreement that this is a good thing. Unfortunately many packages still use this pattern. I think we need a hero (or a small team of heroes) to 1. download the all-specs.tar.xz file and grep for the any spec files that have globs 2. figure out a list and propose a mass change [2] 3. apply all the changes everywhere That last step will require provenpackager privs. I could help a bit, esp. with the last step, if somebody wants to do this.
