It is and we already do. For instance, the java guidelines which have
differences depending on how the tools in the relevant Fedora release are
implemented/available.
We should be more specific about that.
For example, it should be clear that if I am packaging new .macros file
for F19, it should go into /usr/lib/rpm/macros.d without other
conditions. Now, it is small remark squeezed into brackets, which will
be skipped when you skim through the guidelines.

This is a non-starter, I'm afraid.
Yes, unless you provide any rationale behind your statement, it cannot
start even discussion I am afraid. And since you are just afraid, could
you please share your fears? May be we can overcome them together.
Thank you.
