Guidelines: Should numbered patches be replaced by unnumbered in most of our examples?

Hello,

I've recently finally watched *Still packaging like it's 1999?* from DevConf.CZ 2020 by Florian Festi.

One thing that I've learned is that for many years now, we can do:

Patch:          foo.patch
Patch:          bar.patch
Patch:          baz.patch

Instead of the more traditional:


Patch1:         foo.patch
Patch2:         bar.patch
Patch3:         baz.patch

The same applies to sources.

Should we adapt our examples in the packaging guidelines to prefer this approach unless the patches/sources need to be referenced by their number in %prep? It seems simpler.

It has been supported since RPM 4.15 (hence not yet on RHEL 8).
