I'm one of them: for instance, I abhor too freeminded use of wildcards such as
 %{python_sitelib}/*
which may up owning stuff that it isn't supposed to. Or, for the current
example, one might not detect if the egg-info isn't built (which may happen
e.g. on EPEL-5, where one has to do a trick to get it).

However, there's no sense in listing every single file that goes in the RPM, if
they are placed in a package-specific directory, or obey some sane naming
scheme, e.g.
 %{_bindir}/foo
 %{_bindir}/foo-*

Being too specific can also bite you, as you noticed.
