Has fedpkg + dist-git replaced rpmbuild for building new/local packages?

Hi,

I was looking at this quick-docs page[1] which is mentioned in the "New
package process for existing contributors" page[2]. It now does not use
rpmbuild---it uses `fedpkg` and dist-git.

This is also linked to the "Join the package maintainers page"[3].

Is this now the suggested way---and is this what newcomers should be
using? I see that it has advantages---once packages are approved, we use
dist-git. However, on the other hand, it skips the important bits about
how rpmbuild really works.

Weirdly enough, even though it's using fedpkg + dist-git and therefore
does not use the rpmbuild directories, the page still refers to rpmbuild
directories when describing the SPEC at some places. So that's quite
confusing, especially for newcomers.
