Not for the particular issue, which is that mockchain
does not handle the include directive as it processes
the chroot configuration.  There are no doubt many
possible ways to address handling the include
directive.  My proposed solution was simply to
(essentially) use the same approach that mock itself
was using (if it was good enough there, it was good
enough for me, at least until someone with true clue
can review the issue).

AFAIK, the only mock chroot configs that use the
include directive are those shipped by rpmfusion,
which, even though mock documents that the
include directive is supported (and it is in mock
itself, it is only mockchain that has the issue
with include), are less likely to get the upstream to
change the order of their ongoing work to look at
issue #65.

And, AFAIK (and I would not know), there is no
one with a formal support contract with any
enterprise Linux vendor that has pushed for a
fix of the mockchain bug such as reported in the
redhat bugzilla at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409923
(I did not check the other enterprise linux vendors
public bug reporting solutions).

Arguably, rpmfusion could bypass the issue for now
by releasing mock chroot configs that do not use
the include directive until upstream releases a fix.
Perhaps someone should open an issue in the
rpmfusion bugzilla (sometimes the available choices
are poor, and worse, and you need to choose poor).
