I have the opposite feeling, having a single spec file for all the releases would be a *huge* benefit (at least for me) for all the things that can be updated in all releases. All the packages I mantain have %ifs defined for RHEL/CentOS variants and Fedora ones so they can be rebuilt everywhere and at least for the bacula part the rebuilt packages are used a lot [1]. This also helps fixing stuff once for all supported releases. This has led to a super-long list of %post sections for a single spec file; which is ok considering the SysV and systemd differences: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/bacula.git/tree/bacula.spec Adding another variant for f18+ can be done, but I would prefer into avoiding this.
