Good question.  I guess one reason is that I also want to make
the RPMs available for a few non-RH distributions.  I would also
like to be able to build the RPMs for half a dozen distributions
with one command, having the build system take care of that for
me ...

QA is a good thing, but I'm not sure I will always have the
time to keep up with whatever happens inside a project like
Fedora.  Think of me as an amateur packager, mostly interested
in packages I want to use, making them available for distros
which I happen to have running in various places.
