My understanding from Dennis is that creating and then merging side tags in
koji is not a trivial thing (I can't remember is it's labor intensive when
merging back or whether having a lot of side-tags is bad for koji's
performance.)

Since sphinx is used very little at runtime and since there's not a deep
circular dep chain (sphinx requires docutils.  docutils does not require
sphinx [although, looking at the source, it could be changed to rebuild its
docs using sphinx at buildtime]) this seems like it might be better to deal
with fallout in rawhide than go through the creation of a side tag.

Pre-view packages in copr (or a scratch build link) does sound like a nice
thing, though (although my reading of the incompatibilities is that most
packages won't hit those issues.)
