I'm not sure we should rush to require a brand new yum feature. A lot of
folks use mock in a lot of different environments.
Could you elaborate what you mean by "brand new yum feature"?
yum-builddep has been available at least since 2005, and the version of it
that has the necessary command line options since 2007.
BuildConflicts processing doesn't exist in yum or yum-builddep yet, it's just
a feature/improvement that mock would gain automatically (if/when implemented)
if it used yum-builddep instead of the current resolvedep screen-scraping. It
is by no means a required thing.
