To me, this whole discussion highlights the necessity of having a revision control system underlying a build system, at least for things like spec files. If the spec file itself doesn't have a comment, or has a confusing one, you would hope that the commit message does. Failing that, you at least know who made the change and when, so you can confront them. :) Plus you'll be able to narrow down when the problem was introduced and revert only that single part.
