I've found that in .dev having PR = r0 in recipes is a bigger burden than not having them, especially when using shared .inc files like xorg. And there have been enough patches where people don't get PR bumps right even if there's a PR already in the recipe. So I'm unconvinced that it makes a real difference in "getting it right".

Even in the extreme case that every packaging patch is missing a PR bump that, for me,  is less annoying than issues I faced in .dev with PR = r0 sprinkled throughout the metadata.
