Sorry, this slipped off my radar.
I agree that what you say makes some sense. However I don't see a reason to
change the spec because *if* one day Fedora really decided to switch to another
compression method for manpages, this would require a mass rebuild anyway.
Enough time to change the spec when really needed and not based on vague
assumptions. In several years of using Linux I have never seen manpages *not*
gzipped. My primary objective is not accidentally packaging uncompressed or
even unwanted files, e.g. due to a bad Makefile.
If you really think there should be no prefixes for manpages, please bring this
suggestion up to the packaging committee on fedora-packaging-list.
