It's 100% nuts that the BuildRoot tag even exists.  This is something
that could and should be handled by intelligence inside rpmbuild,
with no need to try to herd developers into agreeing on whatever the
theory-of-the-month is.

Expecting specfiles to rm -rf the buildroot is just as stupid.

I don't grasp why anyone is thinking that hundreds (thousands?) of
Fedora developers should deal with these things, rather than fixing it
once in RPM itself.
