Many companies build their own releases, and touching something for the sake of touching something will inevitably break something that has worked for a long time. In my opinion, etc/Makefile is not broken, so there is no reason to "fix" it. You can consider my reply an objection to arbitrary changes to etc/Makefile, in this case.
