No it wasnt.. mine ended up being more like one.. probably because of 
other conversations I had just gotten out of.

I understand the justification for not using perl, and I can see the 
justification of using perl. I just see some of the trolls below your 
message as me-andering into a discussion of what the 
one-true-scripting-language should be based off of feelings/emotions 
versus technical effects.

In the end, it is up to the Fedora leadership to come up with a 
published policy on how official core/extra spec files should be 
scripted. And if perl/python/tcl/ruby isnt to be used in them.. then 
someone should help make the various sed bits more manageble to use for 
the developers who are stuck not using the language their brain finds 
most comfortable.
