Thx everybody for their responses and sorry for such controversial
topic. I am not going to propose this upstream after all. However I have
few takeaways:

1) I see responses of Fedora long timers and I understand that you
have polished workflows. But I really think that for newcomers, mock
should be the preferred way. I'd love to see documentation adjusted to
prefer mock everywhere.

2) I would really love you to stop using VMs for your build/testing.
With exception of Kernel and Kernel related issues, the argument of
"mock being slow" can't stand. Every VM will be more resources hungry
then mock, slowing every your task.

3) The argument of mock being slow can't stand, because in one of my
examples I posted elsewhere in this thread, I picked up the simplest
package I could and the build took 7 seconds. This is certainly not
slow, in this time you can't even switch to your email client to check
your emails.
So far on this thread, you've asked feedback on a proposal, and then
when provided with feedback you didn't like, repeatedly argued with our
comments and told us we're wrong.  This is not a good way to engage with
feedback.


I have provided the numbers here:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/4RSZSVMHLIGEYIHLC6NOH3BEWWFQ7JQY/

where I tried to point out that I don't perceive build of trivial package done in 7s to be slow. For nontrivial package the mock overhead is negligible. Nobody replied (in constructive way). On various places, I have suggested to use "--no-clean" option for repeated builds. But in the whole thread, there was no confirmation that anyone would use it.

Yet I am repetitively told that mock is slow, you repeat it down bellow once again without any evidence. Your only argument to this discussion is that mock is slow, because you believe so and other people have said so. I would really appreciate if I was given some specific counterargument supported by numbers.

In particular, *numerous* people have told you that mock builds are
slow for us.  Instead of telling us that we're wrong about our own
experience because it doesn't match yours, make an effort to understand
what the difference is between them.  Or accept it for what it is:
feedback that *you asked for*.

Thanks,
--Robbie
