Comment (by jkeating):

 Yes, we know that this is difficult to manage, but it is also difficult to
 prevent update problems if we were to just have the buildroot feed from
 all candidate builds.  We could easily get into a situation where say A is
 built against B, A gets pushed out, B never does.  It's not an easy
 problem to handle.

 I think the direction we're going in is making it easier to do a tag
 request (make tag-request) and making it easier to make sure your
 dependant builds get done correctly by making use of koji wait-repo so
 that you're sure you are building against the version of the package you
 want to be.
