My conclusion is quite the opposite to what you say: Always encode
%{dist} into changelogs is the only clean way.


It is a bad idea to use any macros in %changelog, especially ones that will change in the future. It makes no sense in the case of %{?dist} especially because when the package is rebuilt in a future dist, it shows "fc6" on very old revisions that didn't exist for FC6. That is misleading and wrong.
