Such Requires: do not make sense nowadays. The ability to require a
special program version was removed some time ago from rpm.
Now, you can require a special package version only and every PHP in
the supported Fedora Extras branches fulfills the requirements. Since
packaging guidelines are tending to minimize the explicitly written
(Build)Requires:, such unneeded versions should be removed too.
