If this were ever approved, I would orphan a lot of packages because I will not

Can you give a specific example? Everything you mentioned can be easily
conditionalized on RHEL7+.
For me (as an upstream author who maintains the spec file as well) the
conditionals are useful. When I see something like:
%if 0%{?rhel} < 6
then I know I can wipe it now and **remove the relevant code** in the
application as well.
Maintaining 3 spec files for Fedora and 1-2 spec files for EPEL is much much
bigger overhead. Especially when they are
mostly identical and differ only in few lines.
