well, as for mandriva, i think it is mandatory to keep a similar
feature. and since nowadays distributions use build systems, i really
don't see how this can be dangerous. the usefulness to adjustate
%install and %files on big pkgs is quite obvious (my example: gcc)
but i'm not against slowly obsoleting --short-circuit which has some
drawbacks in favor of the following (that mandriva inherited from
conectiva):
# Redefine RPM sections to allow jumping over them using "--without <section>".
# This an interesting alternative to --short-circuit.
# The following are mostly equivalent:
# % rpmbuild -bi --short-circuit foo.spec && rpmbuild -bb --short-circuit
foo.spec
# % rpmbuild -bb --without build foo.spec
