--- Comment #11 from Michael Schwendt <bugs.michael@xxxxxxx> ---
It's okay if packagers target everything from EPEL5 up to Rawhide and keep old
stuff such as the BuildRoot definition.

It's also okay if they use conditionals,

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:DistTag#Conditionals

however that isn't highly recommended for various reasons. The spec file can
become much more readible, if it doesn't contain many conditional sections. And
conditional sections often get out-of-date, because you would update/upgrade
Fedora more often than EPEL, and then you would need to test everything for all
conditional target dists, too. And, of course, the spec files for different
dist releases are stored in separate git branches.

[...]

In the Fedora Package Review queue, all tickets are set to "Version: Rawhide",
regardless of whether they will be published for older Fedora branches and EPEL
after approval. If a new package is made only for EPEL (I could imagine that),
the submitter should be explicit about that. It could be that a reviewer will
ask why the package would not be published for a Fedora dist.
