There might be valid reasons for the old stuff appearing in _some_

beyond your knowledge, for example specfile maintained by upstream,
usable not
only by Fedora.
Theoretically you may be right. In practice .. nope.
On what do you base your assertion? Are you saying that nobody does this?
There is no any reasons to use in Fedora spec file which is not
readable/simple as it is only possible because someone who is not
focused on Fedora want to make it universal without testing it on all
possible distributions on every new version released.
Or it may be due to complex
spec files that are difficult to diff
between releases so maintaining them in one place (upstream) is far more
efficient and less error-prone.
