-Building these stages separately is generally only useful when packaging new
-software in RPM format and/or troubleshooting. They are listed below in the
-order of execution, with the corresponding spec section in parenthesis where
-applicable.
+Use these _STAGE_ arguments to produce intermediate build artifacts without
+creating packages. These stages generally correspond to spec sections (shown in
+parentheses where applicable) and are primarily intended for when packaging new

Yep, it's intentional. Not sure if it's 100% grammatically correct, but I think I've seen this usage elsewhere :laughing: Anyway, removing "when" would make it sound as if these stages *do* package new software, as opposed to be used *when* doing so :thinking:
