That has been my experience as well: Use on-demand side-tags for
everything, and use buildroot overrides only when using a side-tag
would be very inconvenient (i.e. tagging in builds that were already
submitted as another update into another side tag). But I don't think
buildroot overrides are really *necessary* for any workflows anymore,
either ...

Not sure if we should turn them off entirely, but we could restrict
their use somewhat? For example, only allow people in "releng" or "qa"
groups to file them.
