Well switching over to the "new spec file" causes all the 3rd party module 
build scripts to fail.  The say "kernel configuration not valid - run 'make 
prepare' in /usr/src/kernels/2.6.17-1.2328.fc6-x86_64 to update it."  Are 
you going back to the old way or are going to have to fix all the builds?  I 
vote for the old way!  Using "_FC6" is fine with me.  There errors so far 
are for mvidia, vmware, ntfs, and spca5xx modules.
