Oh, I even participated in that thread. ;)

Okay, okay, so it's just stylistic nitpicking and requires packagers to
change something into something else which doesn't improve the package.
I think we've yet to see a package where somebody really tries

  Patch: foo.patch
  Patch: bar.patch

  %patch -b .foo
  %patch -b .bar

and actually manages to testbuild it.
