OK, understood.

There is one piece I'm struggling with (and I'm not sure if that's the 
same thing you call special disttag for rhscl rebuild). It is how to 
deal with conflicting NVRs in koji (supposing CBS koji also doesn't 
allow two build tasks resulting into the same NVR).

When we build some SRPM first in sclo project and then import the same 
SRPM to rpms project (so we're able to build it from SCM, sign it and 
release), then koji build will fail, because we already have the same 
NVR built from SRPM, right?

I'm thinking if we can solve this by disttag, so e.g. every build from 
SRPM would get something like ".el6.test" and only SCM builds would get 
".el6". As far as I understand koji, that would require another build 
target, right?

Maybe there is some nicer way to handle this or you may convince me we 
don't need to solve this at all and just handle it with release bumps. 
(just thinking loudly now)
