Well given it's based on Fedora and most of the pre work happens in Fedora (hence the request for ensuring the conditionals are correct) I think that's relatively upstream. Also a lot of the packages actually have the same specs in Fedora/RHEL/CentOS, a lot of the RHEL stuff is rebased regularly and those maintainers keep things in sync, but like everything different maintainers work in different ways/workflows so some do diverge over the lifecycle of a RHEL release, but that's generally seen quite easily via the centos dist-git instance.
That's just all the more reason to publish the branched packages in CentOS Git as soon as they're branched, or even maintain them in Fedora dist-git. But I'm not holding my breath for it to happen any time soon.
