Explained here :

So this is acceptable.

I also have some of my spec adapted for SCL in rawhide, because the
changes are quite minor. Mostly because I don't want to loose my work.

I hope we'll be able in the (near) future to build packages in EPEL
for/using RHSCL. In this case, the SCL will be in a specific branch (and
the fedora spec will be clean for more legibility).

Remember, there is no rule to use the same spec in all branches ;)

Remi.
