mock+createrepo running as root?

Is there a reason that mock is running createrepo as root?  It's
leaving root-owned repodata around anytime I do a mock build.  Since I
have root access to my own laptop it's just an annoyance for me but
for others it could be a lot more difficult to get rid of the
directories.  Or is this just that I have something messed up on my
system?
