Eventually yes, although that'd be up to FPC I guess.

Not yet however: while the produced packages are compatible with all 
older rpm versions, the spec is not. As long as there's a chance we 
might (temporarily) have to revert back to 4.10, you dont want to 
introduce spec-level changes that would cause build-failures on the 
older version.
