Actually, inspired by this thread, rpm will start at least warning about
BuildRoot tag in the next release or so.
The reason for silently ignoring all this time was to allow spec sharing
between old and new rpm versions, but I guess the time has come to bury it
for good.
Please do not code packaging policies into rpm, that's what tools
like rpmlint are for.
I don't see long, long since obsoleted rpm tag being packaging policy
but a technical rpm matter.
Not everybody runs rpmlint for everything they produce, on the contrary
I suspect it's fairly small percentage of packagers out there that do.
If rpm itself doesn't directly complain about such things they'll simply
never get cleaned up.
