If you look at xfstests-bld, it is an infrastructure which pulls in via get the latest version of xfstests, and builds it in a hermetic environment. Think of it as a distribution independent packaging infrastructure for xfstests. It's as much of a fork as Red Hat's varoius source rpms. And like many packaging setups, it can be far more convenient for people to use the package build scripts than to try to build various source packages from scratch, and having to worry about all of the various dependencies.
