This is only so mock can populate chroots with rpms with stronger hashes rhel5's rpm doesnt support. All srpm creation now takes place in chroots so features of the target rpm are always available. rpm in F-10 updates is compatible with the new rpm features. but rpm from F-9 and RHEL4 and 5 can not handle the new rpm at all. you cannot make chroots on them with rawhide rpms. you could use koji on F-10/rawhide or F-9/RHEL5 by replacing the hosts rpm to build your packages.
