Is it? I haven't found whether this change is compatible with CentOS-6 (and 7)
which could break them if you just build the Fedora Rawhide .spec for them.
It is. Jason mentioned this in the initial message:
RPM has provided a sensible default since version 4.4
(which predates FC6 and RHEL5)
I regularly build git from rawhide, which has no %defattr,
for EL-{6,7} systems.
In case anyone might find that useful or wants to confirm
that the lack of %defattr causes no issues, the COPR's are:
