Well, I haven't seen any real reasoning why to flame it, either.

How is that? Are you confused by the existence of the upstream spec file? Is
any packager confused by it? I'd be quite surprised.

On the other hand, I have been using the spec file to build SA as vanilla as
possible, and not wait for the latest version to appear in $distro. I expect
there are other users out there who do the same. Users who are unlikely to keep
up with SA bugzilla and object here.

Since this bug turned into a request to remove a feature, I don't see the need
for others to object yet. The first and most important question is, *why* we
*want* to remove the spec file. What is its real advantage?
