As far as I know, nobody actually uses buildid to differentiate
between kernel builds.
I'm using it for the kernels these repos provide:

It's very convenient for me, as you guys don't touch that line, so I
never get git conflicts when I merge your changes from rawhide, f20 and
such.
It's possible to simply append something to baserelease to mark
it
as a "non-official" build, and that's really all buildid is doing
anway.
baserelease otoh and afaics is changed now and then, thus I'd have to
fix it up every time.
So from a quick look I'd prefer if it stays. But the world doesn't end
if you remove that stuff, as I could basically revert that patch in my
spec file and should be able to continue as before afaics.
