No need to manually set up dependencies anymore, set up a build box, etc. No need to juggle x86_64 and i386 either, you can run builds for *everything* from a single F23 box or VM or docker or whatever.

No accidental undeclared build or runtime dependencies. Since you seem to be using Docker to prep build envs now it's less of an issue than when the build boxes are hand-maintained, but the great thing about mock is that it gets all the build depends info straight from the spec file.

This makes me so excited! I can't wait to try it and work on getting the other packages set up this way as well!

Great job you guys!
