+6. SPECS: What is obsolete now that we have GIT?
+
+Now that we use GIT for our own .spec files and projects, there're some things
+we do no longer need.
+
+a) Remove "# $Revision:" lines on top of a .spec file
+b) Remove the whole changelog from the bottom of a .spec file
+c) Remove "%define date %(echo `LC_ALL="C" date +"%a %b %d %Y"`)"
+d) Remove feedback stuff and all PLD related links
+
+Why all that removing?
+There're a couple of reasons why we don't want to keep these things in our
+specs.
+Most of them are strictly CVS related, like the Revision stuff. We don't need
+to artificially increase the size of our .spec files by having the whole
+changelog included in them. Use "git log", with all its sophisticated options,
+to visualise changes, make statistics etc.
