Since nothing stops the user from using TAG_OPTS=-F, it is ineffective
of us to remove force-tag. How about an improved force-tag instead?
Make force-tag use koji to check if a build for that N-V-R is already
complete. If it is complete, then refuse to tag again with the same N-V-R.
Yes, this sounds exactly like what should have been done. We should not have
disabled a feature that many people legitimately use until we had a tested
solution that does not interrupt the work flow. This is needless arguing with
no tangible benefits for anyone. I consider the srpm to be the canonical
source of the build. That is the only granularity people can access via any
mirror.

The goal of preventing force-tag is to better guarantee that .src.rpm
comtents match tags. We can achieve this by having force-tag fail if
the buildsystem says that E:N-V-R was either already built or is
currently building.
Could FESCO please consider this during the next meeting?
