In this case, this means that if someone checks for %{fedora}'s value, but it isn't defined, the behavior should default to the proper one for FC4 (since it's the latest ATM). For me, this is a sane default, and I'd like to see Extras use it as much as possible too ;-)
I didnt say anything about default behavior.. i just want access to a package that gives me the canonical buildsystem macro settings for the release I'm trying to build on regardless of its vintage. So when I'm doing local building when prepping a package I can have very good confidence that I am using the the correct build environment without having to resort to building inside mock for every local build attempt I make when I'm troubleshooting packaging bugs.
