Great example.

$ grep -c RPM_SOURCE_DIR kernel-2.6.spec

Seriously guys, I've said it two times already: if you want me to 
repaint my bikeshed, first convince the central packaging committee on 
high that your particular choice of bikeshed colour not mine must be 
mandated across the distro. Then I'll happily tow the party line; 
otherwise I'll keep my bikesheds in yellow.  http://yellow.bikeshed.com/
