And automation ties up the entire package set until all the builds are
done, preventing a maintainer to go beyond the automated build until
that build finishes which could take days.  Plus as stated other places
there are still a very large number of packages that have improper
License tags in specs so those really could get updated at the same
time as the maintainer driven build, to prevent further spurious builds.
