Two suggestions:
1. Short required blurb at the top of all README.Fedora such as:
"This documentation file is provided by the Fedora Project, from
which this package is derived for use by a number of distributions. For
more information about this derivation, refer to <LINK>."
2. Making use of the $DISTVAR in Makefile.common:
--- Makefile.common.original 2007-07-01 16:43:18.000000000 -0400
+++ Makefile.common 2007-07-01 16:44:00.000000000 -0400

Then simply use README.%{distvar} in the spec. My personal preference
is alternative #1 because like others I see value in spreading the
Fedora brand name. If someone's already looking through README files
it's hard to make a case that they'll turn up their noses at
README.Fedora, simply because of the name, in the absence of any other
docs covering their needs.
