Sure, but 95% of packages need compiling.
So, either you save disk space for the very rare case somebody will be
only building the 5% of packages and have to add all the usual build requirements
to the 95% of packages (wasting disk space in those src.rpm's), or you
do what I proposed (or have the status-quo, ie. the usual build requirements
aren't recorded anywhere and it is unclear what they really are).
