We recommended to all projects to build packages also without scl in scl 
branch to check build errors. Sometimes it helped to find some new 
errors, which shouldn't be happening. I don't recall the exact problem.

Specfile is definitely more readable without ifdefs, but one of the 
use-cases is to build the same set of packages even in different 
buildroot without scl. I would be in favour to keep this behaviour.
