Ah, I should've guessed it wouldn't be that simple. :)
Do you (or anyone else) recall if the problems were in addition to
just causing other builders a hassle if they try to build packages
which lack a BuildRoot? That one seems rather minor to me, especially
considering that the BuildRoot: tag doesn't have to be removed from
spec files immediately, it would just become irrelevant for review
purposes (one less nit for anyone to pick).
