Would you mind expanding your answer a bit, please?
I'd like to learn why people would (not) like such a check or reminder.

I agree. I usually keep them around for a couple of releases especially when it has to do with preserving an upgrade path (support f<xx>-2) or for more recent EOL'd releases if someone wants to manually keep a package going for a while. 

But I see no purpose in keeping around conditionals for anything past 4 releases ago and I see them sometimes when rebuilding packages. I recently saw one for Fedora 24...

Thanks,
Richard
