Shrug, he's not alone in that. I was against *mandating* $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
instead of %{buildroot} all the way and still am (simply because
%{buildroot} is faster to type and also mixes better with all the
%{_libdir} macros and such visually), and there were/are others as well.

OTOH that's what a community project is about: you get to express your
opinion and vote, doesn't mean your vote is the one that counts.
Compromises, in other words.
