I am sorry, I disagree. The spec should be always simple and clear, without
that I am not able to approve it, but you can always request other people to
review it.

BTW, since bsd-mailx is not acively developed any more, you should be aware of:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Orphaned_package_that_need_new_maintainers#Claiming_Ownership_of_a_Deprecated_Package

"If you really want to maintain a deprecated package, you need to be aware that
if upstream is dead, fixing release critical bugs, etc **becomes your
responsibility.***"

Please let me know if you have any additional question.

Thanks
Douglas
