 I would like to ask for a custom tag in Koji, inherited from f19-build.

 Preferred name of the tag would be f19-maven-experimental. This tag would
 be used to build Java packages that use Maven as their build system, which
 would be later tagged to f19.

 Reasons:
 1) auto-requires for Java packages are being introduced[1] in Fedora 19 as
 a feature and they could possibly cause some breakage
 2) I maintain large number of packages (250+) and it's hard to verify
 every single package for correctness of auto-requires
 3) Some packages have cyclic dependencies and they need to be tagged at
 the same time. Building packages without tagging them and sharing a list
 of things to tag between several people poses difficulties. Tagging to a
 custom tag would be a solution.

 Thank you in advance.
