I am unaware of any remaining use cases for buildroot overrides that
are not covered by side tags
One use case that I sometimes encounter is requiring a newer version for a dependency, that is submitted to Bodhi with a side-tag. Since the build is in a side-tag, I can't access it without building into that specific side-tag. Also I can't stop the Bodhi Update just to add my own build. In this case, I need to create a buildroot override to be able to build my package in my own side-tag.
I think you can tag that build into your side tag? This should require provenpackager privileges, as far as I understand it.
Thanks, Florian

Yes, if you have privileges on the other package, I think you can just do `koji tag <my-side-tag> N-V-R`
