Such tests are generally done with a scratch build, not by pushing a
git snapshot to Fedora.

You are ignoring what Hans has pointed out, that most of the time Fedora is
not using a pristine upstream release, but an arbitrary git snapshot, so
this is not only about this specific release.

If you mean that from now on, fedora packages will only be based on
official release tarballs with no additional patches, then all is good, and
I think this should be fine with Hans as well.
