Is --no-clean safe in [Docker] containerized mock?

[brianjmurrell]

If I create a Docker container from (say) the fedora:38 Docker image and then install mock in it and then run mock in that container (with /var/lib/mock/ being in the container's namespace, not mapped from the host running docker) every time I want to do a build, adding --no-clean to the mock command-line should be safe, since I am starting with a fresh container every time, shouldn't it?

IOW, isn't cleaning in such an environment a big NOOP anyway since every mock is run in a separate container that was never used for any prior mock build?

Looks like I am correct and safe to use --no-clean in such an environment.
