Personally I'm not sure why something like this is bothered to be packaged, and I wonder what the size of the user base that you mention is. There is no build. The installation process is beyond simple: untar, then configure a DB and web server. With a package, the install process is install package, then configure a DB and web server.
I can guarantee that the user base is not zero :-) IMO the main advantage is being able to use the rpm tool to: - verify the package contents - locate config files - check the version from the CLI ( am I up to date? ) - ensure the right dependencies have been installed Sure, that does not sound like much if running wordpress is the main business of your server, but once wordpress is one if many applications you get to appreciate an uniform way of handling the issues I mentioned above.
