I agree. More of a long-term thing, though. Here is my list of stuff we
need to work on:

1) "inside-out" setuid scheme (part of an overall revamp on how we see
security for mock running. We currently dont have a coherent strategy or
vision).
2) use yum-utils rather than calling cmdline
3) better caching (downloaded yum stuff, chroot cache)
4) more reliable mount/umount
5) Speedup options: ccache/distcc
