The patch looks harmless, but I wonder whether the script's users
will remember to use that option when bumping old branches only.

I wonder even more why rpmdev-bumpspec says

    Copyright (c) 2005-2008 Red Hat Inc.

which is not correct. 2005 may be true for its origin, the pre-Fedora
Extras era. For the first mass-rebuilds and beyond that it was developed
further by me, and just because I don't want to claim full copyright,
it should not be given to Red Hat for 2006-2008. That sounds very wrong
to me, because nobody at Red Hat has been an author of changes to the
script in those years.
