You wouldn't mess the main repo as  it would not have been built against the new
version of the library you updated and are trying to rebuild against. So for
that package there is no change compared to what was already in rawhide. And for
the side-tag when trying to merge it changes are that the tests would fail no?

Buildroot override means we gate the packages for an unknown time. The buildroot
override means: adding to the buildroot something that isn't already there. So
how would we know when to wait (depending libraries need a rebuild) and when not
to wait (single-package update)?
If we always push, we end up with the current rawhide situation no?
If we default to wait, we end up with what we have currently in stable releases
and are changing quite our packaging workflow.
I'm not saying it's not an option, just that it needs to be made clear to
everyone.

This seems a lot of work without necessary a lot of gain tbh.
