I'd argue there are valid cases for using this latter construct(*), like
fixing a packaging bug/error limited to only one fedora
release/platform. I'd agree that that it's use should be rare.
I agree there are valid cases for doing this on "non-devel", but I can't
imagine any reason for doing this on "devel".
(*) especially for those packagers (like myself) that prefer to keep
a
single specfile sync'd for all fedora releases.
Increment N, %{?dist} will do the rest.
