It's needed for testing builds against versions of packages not yet in mock. I use it
almost every day. Losing it would make things like testing solib bumps harder.
I've done local test builds for soname bumps and similar things lots
of times, and I've never used (or thought about using) fedpkg local
for that.
I used "mock --chain" or a combination of "mock --postinstall
--no-clean" for those builds ... which is much closer to what koji
will do with your builds, and gives every build the clean environment
it deserves >:-)
