It's stylistic.
I think %patch0 is cleaner than %patch, and won't confuse new packagers
who can assume that they can just do:
Patch: foo
Patch: bar
%patch -p1
And to be honest, the NewPackageProcess apparently got created while I
was asleep, from my "ExtrasPackageChecklist", which I wrote not as a
standard, but as a cheat sheet for me. Don't assume it's a standards
document worth following (yet).
