A custom tag would slow things down considerably.  When doing a
buildroot override, the newRepo task can take the pre-existing repodata
into account when calling createrepo and be done fairly quickly (a few
minutes of actual createrepo time).  A new custom tag would require
creating fresh repodata from scratch which can take an hour or more of
actual createrepo time.
