Indeed. Brew supported %{?dist} for about 4 hours, long enough for us
to realize it broke some things in our infrastructure so it got punted
till later.

The guidelines also mention that use of %{?dist} is optional and not
necessary in _any_ package. As long as there is a clear upgrade path
from FE4 -> FE5 -> devel than that is acceptable.
As spot states though, if a new core package is going to use some sort
of dist like part of the NEVR, it has to follow what %{?dist} would
evaluate to, '.fc6' '.fc5' etc... This is one of the things I look at
when reviewing a new Core package.
