This ^^ is my workflow as well (although I think there is missing `touch
sources` ;) ).

There are two reasons:

1) I really don't want to install every dependency of every package I
ever touch on my computer. I always use mock and I never use rpmbuild.
That way, I am still able to keep my main system even without GCC and I
have never missed it. And just FTR, I would not be able to build ruby
while Ruby is installed on my system.

2) fedpkg would not be needed if rpmbuild would be sanely able to do
something like `fedpkg --release master srpm` but even so basic think
requires either shuffling with files on FS or specifying million of
working directories. I really don't understand why this was never improved.
