Because you still don't know what %{?dist} (and others) should be.  What 
does "dist-rawhide" mean?  Well it could be .fc17, or it could mean 
.fc18, which could make a big difference to conditionals within the spec 
file.

Although the plan was at one time to make use of the dist-rawhide 
target, I'm not sure what derailed that plan, and if possible we should 
go through with that plan, but the above problem remains (it'd just come 
into play less often).
