Not only Fedora (and Fedora derivatives) use RPMs.  Contrary to
deb packages and Debian there aren't, I think, many RPM packages
with designed package maintainer; the development style for deb
and for rpm packages is a bit different.

Besides, git.spec generated by git Makefile from git.spec.in
isn't distribution specific.  And it allows me to install git
in a packaging system on and old machine with old Aurox 11.1
(Polish distribution, no longer active, based on Fedora Core 4),
with glibc-2.3.5-10.3 via "rpmbuild --rebuild" from .src.rpm.

I'd rather _not_ lose this ability.
