True. I always wget both, install the SRPM and diff the specs, and ask
about any differences if the packager goofed. Though I certainly see
your point, especially for extremely large pacakges, like games with
huge globs of data (i.e. wesnoth), etc.
Another aspect, at least I use these *.specs for:
I use them as a "sneak-preview" to decide on whether I would want to get
involved into a review or if I would prefer to abstain from it.
