6 There is still a need, and if I'm reading these patches right,
7 --enter-chroot would not satisfy that need.

9 enter-chroot is interactive, and, depending on hardware speed, the time
10 between kicking off the catalyst run and when the chroot shell is
11 invoked may be some time for a human operator to monitor.

13 It also adds non-deterministic, un-reproducible behaviour to a build.
14 Having it in the spec file at least means it is included in a build
15 artifact.
