Yes, and the Red Hat engineer would not change that anyway unless there
were good reason.
The fedora.us documents don't say anywhere that $RPM_BUILD_ROOT would be
"better than" or "more correct than" %buildroot. They just say that
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT is preferred at fedora.us and give the reason why that is
the case.

With your early replies you started a not so friendly sounding
policy debate, e.g. in
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0402261717460.2334 at horsea.3ti.be>
and you didn't stop at $RPM_BUILD_ROOT vs. %buildroot.
