IMHO, it is the job of the EPEL package of mock to disable the
config_opts['package_manager'] = 'dnf' option in the shipped version of the
Rawhide configs. I don't care whether it's done using patch or sed, as long
as it's done in SOME way. That's what packaging is for. The fact that Fedora
happens to be upstream for this package doesn't mean it cannot be patched
for specific releases (especially RHEL/EPEL).
