Interesting question. My personal opinion is that if we do it at all, =
yes
we should forge a new spec for RHEL 7+ and Fedora 21+ which does away =
with
all the legacy. And that it would bitrot quickly unless we actually use =
it.
And that maintaining the spec is the bigger problem than providing the
builds.

Thus, probably: "No."
