The rawhide *.spec is targeted at rawhide, not everywhere, because of the branch structure in use by Fedora. That has nothing whatsoever to do with whether Fedora is "suicidal" or "RPM sux!", there's a perfectly obvious engineering explanation for why the RFE was declined.
If the Fedora branch structure precludes compatibility with other distros, should CentOS users avoid use of Rawhide packages when seeking newer upstream packages, and instead migrate to another repository? Doesn't this discourage greater testing of Rawhide? Only those who use a "pure" Rawhide distro will have any incentive to use its packages.
All valid and important points.
Old Russian saying: Don't blame a dog for its master.
Barking at Joe Orton for refusing an RFE and somehow trolling/spinning that into "Fedora is sucidal!" and "RPM sux!" is a waste of time and energy.
And I agree that "RPM sux!" fwiw ...
