Of course for your personal packages you can do whatever you like.  In
Fedora, though, the answer is that you should use the provided optflags
unless you have specific justification for a change.  In order to change
-O2 to -O3 I'd want to see benchmarking and other such evidence that
indicates that the change actually makes a difference.  Otherwise it's
just a case of "adding -O99 for uber mega speedz0rs!!!11!!1one".
