Because our builders can't always be running the kernel of the day. For
better or worse, our builders run RHEL5 as the host OS, and use mock for
the chroots. Except for very few occasions, the running kernel doesn't
really play into the build. The places where it does seem to be pretty
fragile IMHO and need work anyway.
