We semi-frequenstly get bug reports for Rust packages because of tsflags=nodocs, for example, when people build inside containers instead of mock. It's not an uncommon pattern for Rust packages to #include the contents of README.md as a documentation annotation at build-time. Since we mark README.md as %doc (correctly, I think), builds that use these libraries fail when %doc files are excluded from installation. As such, I would be against a change to set tsflags=nodocs in mock by default. It would create a not insignificant amount of work for us, and it's not clear to me how to solve that in a way that both 1) works and 2) is compliant with packaging guidelines.
