Yeah, for sure, that's why I'm trying to nibble around the edges by
updating the docs to strongly encourage chain builds, document using
fedpkg chain-build on a side tag, and hopefully get fedpkg chain-build
enhanced so it can create the side tag and the final update
automatically. If we can get that, then I can make the docs explain how
to use it.

ISTR there've been several recent discussions of complex dep chains on
this very list where people have floated candidates for repoquery/fedrq
commands...if there's one we're pretty confident is The Best, we can
definitely plumb that into the docs at least (plumbing it all the way
into fedpkg might be a step too far, though).
