In support of Kevin's statement:

Out-of-source builds make sense if you want to build from the source multiple 
times, or if you want to ensure that the source is immutable (for the build 
process).

None of this seems to be the goal of the Change which was motivated solely by 
general "you should do out-of-source builds".

In fact, in Fedora we would need to either make the source immutable after 
%prep, or do the %prep step when building the source rpm and then build 
binaries from that srpm, or in keep the prepped source tree in the lookaside 
cache (in addition to the upstream source; this requires the packer to prep).

So, "pointless" describes this Change really well, until there is more to build 
upon this change.
