The latest-by-tag command produced misleading, incomplete reports. It 
was a broken mess founded on a misunderstanding of Koji's data structure.

If your processes were relying on latest-by-tag, then they were already 
broken ;)


What folks should do instead is:
- pick a list of tags they care about
- query for the latest builds of package X in those tags

e.g.
# for tag in $MYTAGS; do koji list-tagged --quiet --latest --inherit 
$tag $MYPKG; done


I am open to adding more reports if there is a real need, but 
latest-by-tag was beyond fixing.
