Ok, I think the rhetoric here is getting a touch out of hand, and making a very
large issue out of a not-so-large one.

Perl modules are fairly "special", in that basically the same specfile can
handle all of them (with package specific description, etc, being adapted, of
course).  They're also special in that there's a LOT of them.

For those two reasons, I try to hew as close to the specfile template as
possible.  --> The closer to the template a perl module spec is the more readily
apparent errors are, especially when there's a _lot_ of them. <--

It's easy to scan a perl spec and almost instinctively know when something is
missing, when as little deviation as necessary is made from it.

Ralf, I do not do this "mindlessly", "without thinking", or "sloppily".  I do
check to ensure the extra lines (w.r.t. OPTIMIZE) doesn't adversely impact the
building of the package. I'm not resistant to learning, and in fact find myself
learning daily and seeking input.  To date I haven't been provided with any
reason why, in my judgement, it would be advantagous to abandon this practice.

If you want, bring this issue before the packaging committee.  If guidelines
come down or new spec templates are issued recommending the dropping of those
lines, I'll comply.  Until then, can we not accept it as a legitimate choice a
packager may make under the guidelines?

Can we continue this discussion off bugzilla -- in any bug -- if we absolutely must?
