Mostly just an a to z thing. The way our current build system works,
every package is installed into the build root, so at this point we're
pretty assured that all build reqs will be met. This is not optimal for
many reasons, and a replacement build system is being developed that
fixes this.
I know that yum/mock/plague doesn't quite fit the bill as a beehive
replacement, but it would be nice if RedHat could work with the
community to extend yum/mock/plague rather than re-inventing the wheel.
I know that one thing that plague could use is a way to easily switch
the plague client between two or more plague servers.
