Well, though I don't understand this (You could build against rawhide and sync rawhide with newly built packages), I am not complaining ... ... I am just describing what I consider to be facts, which I consider to sufficient reasons for users to apply "scratch-builds" :) At the very moment packagers are facing architectural dependent bugs, or observe build-breakdown in koji, which can't be reproduced in local "rawhide builts", ... scratch-builds become a valuable tool.
