If you want to closely replicate that koji will do, then no disagreement that use of mock is the right tool (or just a koji scratch-build). That just isn't a requirement much of the time though. For adhoc development and debugging of RPM spec changes/updates, mock gets in the way and slows things down. I could easily do 10-20 "local" runs while getting an complex change working, and then finish off with just one or two mock build or koji scratch-build to validate it in a pristine build root env at the end.
