What I would want to see in F16/F17 is macros that exactly duplicate the
previously-standard snippets they are supposed to replace.  Nobody is
suggesting that the preset stuff ought to go into the released branches;
only that we don't want to have to maintain different specfile versions
for the different branches.  And if these things are macros, we should
not have to.
