To make an BuildRoot: optional/discouraged, some changes in rpm would be needed: * 'rpmbuild' fails to run as root * 'rpmbuild' fails when %buildroot is empty/undefined * rpm ships with a proper default %buildroot * the points above are true on all supported platforms I think, FC9 or FC10 would be a realistic target date.
