The fact that most builds will end up with no named tags at all because 
dist-git doesn't enforce manual tagging nor is it in the packager SOP. 
Having successfully built versions be tagged in the SCM so that the sources 
corresponding to a given NVR can be easily checked out at any time was 
posted as one of the essential requirements on the SCM setup. The current 
implementation does not comply to that essential requirement. Thus, this is 
a showstopper which should have blocked putting dist-git into production.

Plus, automatic tagging was promised as THE reason we switch to dist-git in 
the first place.
