Nah. The end result is the same. The difference is that making the
src.rpm in FC4 creates a source tree that can be moved to /usr/src.
Making the src.rpm in FC3 (with only source rpm selected in the spec)
creates a source.rpm

The issue is portability which is a tarball in FC4 vs an rpm in FC3. I
just think that creating an rpm is more consistent with the Fedora
approach.
