As far as I understand the very idea behind SuSE's Open Build Service (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Build_Service) is to provide an infrastructure to provide native packages for different distros. This does not free maintainers from making the necessary changes in their specs, and of course this tends to uglify specs. Still I believe that doing this would be a great benefit for the community.
Why trying to package next for all distros? It is a development branch. Distros are usually already packaging the relesed versions of Window Maker. Maybe the problem is that Window Maker is not released very often so the distro package most likely will be an older version. It takes some time for a distro to catch up but it's the best way to make sure the package is integrated in the distro and will work without problems. Otherwise we would need to provide third party repos for each distro and follow their development.
