The shortest syntax is just to use Patch: foo.patch , and %autosetup .
That is not a syntax to apply a patch, it is an automagic that blindly applies all patches in numeric order. Cannot reorder patches, cannot apply them conditionally (e.g., based on the 0%{?fedora} version), cannot specify a -b backup file extension for each patch. So it is not a fair comparison.
