In some cases, the effect of this change on the work of
ProvenPackagers will be positive. Manual release bumping (because of
soname-bump or a hotfix change) is easier because you can just call
`fedpkg tag` and write a message instead of manually messing with a
spec file. And in case a script is used, then it's exactly the same
amount of work (calling the script).
It is not easier, because you need to special case it in all scripts *and*
manual work.
