I completely agree with that. Unless the buildroot is picked by

having packagers go through fixing N hundred spec files to match seems
like a waste of time.
+1
We have the spec stubs that have an acceptable buildroot tag for new packages,
I don't see much value in harping on existing packages for the BuildRoot.
