For what it's worth, I agree with Stephen that conditionals are easier to
maintain when we need to keep them working across rebases. I'd much prefer
keeping a RHEL conditional in git master than having to manually go through
each and every RHEL package after branching and adding back downstream
changes. In my opinion, this doesn't scale at all -- it may work for people
who maintain a small amount of packages and can keep track of what changes
need to be made in RHEL, but not if someone is maintaining a large number
of packages. (I am a package monkey for the GNOME stack with hundreds of
packages, both in upstream Fedora and downstream RHEL) .
