Unrelated to the topic at hand, but why do people still use rpmbuild -bs
instead of using a fedpkg mockbuild? You get a clean environment to
build and you don't have to install tons of devel packages on your system.
For me it's speed. Yes, mock gives a clean environment, but I'd rather
not use it if I don't have to: the tradeoff is I don't have to *wait*
for the mock to go get the tons of devel packages (and generally for
repo/dnf slowness) - they're already installed on my system.
