Is it really worth it including this in mock?

I'm using the same concept here for our in-house builds. But all the logic 
is part of a shellscript which calls mock for both i386 and x86_64 and 
fills a "local" repository with the results.
This is similar to what plague and AFAIK koji do.

Might be worthwile considering that.
