For me it's speed. Yes, mock gives a clean environment, but I'd rather
not use it if I don't have to: the tradeoff is I don't have to *wait*
for the mock to go get the tons of devel packages (and generally for
repo/dnf slowness) - they're already installed on my system.
But you have fedpkg installed, right? I think fedpkg srpm should do a
good job as well.
