It seems like a reasonable config option to me, and it's hardly much 
more code to maintain. It would make it somewhat easier for someone to 
rapidly adjust their buildroot config while tinkering with builds.

I could, or I could run a patched mock, although I had hoped to use what 
the community is using.

Look, I don't seem to be winning anyone ever here. I think I'll just 
deal with the fallout of the proposed change. Ultimately, staying in 
tune with the rest of the mock community is more important to me than my 
previously stated objections.
