Generally speaking, I'm fine with the change and the reasoning behind
this.

I do wonder, though, where a naive user would / should go looking for
"the right .spec file" for his distribution now?  Say, I download this
tarball, and want to build a RH RPM from it...  does it make sense
to have a "spec-README.rst" or something that points to the spec files
"the major distributions" use?

(In case this is not obvious: I have no idea what I'm talking about,
the only RPMs I've ever built are on AIX... :-) )
