Why?

If you want to change the name of package (i.e. "Name: bar" instead of "Name:
foo") sometimes in the future, you will must do a lot of manual changes in the
spec file. To avoid this, %{name} macro is used.

IMHO, %{name} is even more clear than original name, because it specifies that
there is PACKAGE NAME in this place, and it is not a word which just matches
with package's name occasionally.
