What I need, I think, is a way to tell brew (possibly mock) to keep

be useful outside the scope of updates too; say I wanted to fix a .pc
file to list fewer needless libraries, and I wanted to rebuild
everything downstream of that package to verify that they all still
build.
Close, but not quite the RFE I've expressed for Koji, the buildsystem we'll
use for the merged Core/Extras.
Instead of keeping the buildroot and reusing it, it would instead make the
just built packages available for your next buildroot, yours alone. This
would allow you to chainbuild a list of intertwined packages using previous
results in the buildroot but still using a fresh buildroot each time, and
still landing all the builds in -candidate. Most likely not possible in F7
timeframe though.
