Why is that exactly?  If an official build is submitted to koji and it
fails, it's still an official build.  You cannot submit a new build with
the same NVR as koji will disallow that.  A tag is just a reflection of
an official build (or could be construed as such anyway).

A build submitted and canceled does run into trouble though.  Maybe that
is what you were referring to?
