By design, Plague can build from _either_ SRPMS _or_ CVS checkouts.

It would need modifications to make it support both. One could change the
design and make it a convention, that when it runs in CVS checkout mode,
any SRPMS sent to it are built only for scratch targets.

Plague isn't Koji. And it doesn't make any sense to try to duplicate all
of koji's features. Especially not if there are concrete plans on
migrating to koji+bodhi+mash. The question is not "can it do this and
that?", but "what do we want it to do?" and "what is necessary to achieve
that?".
