Could you elaborate what you mean by "brand new yum feature"?

yum-builddep has been available at least since 2005, and the version of it 
that has the necessary command line options since 2007.

BuildConflicts processing doesn't exist in yum or yum-builddep yet, it's just 
a feature/improvement that mock would gain automatically (if/when implemented) 
if it used yum-builddep instead of the current resolvedep screen-scraping.  It 
is by no means a required thing.
