Shouldn't it be somehow aligned with this ^^ chapter? Maybe the chapter
should be referenced at least, because it explains how to request the
side tag.

Says:
"""
You may need a buildroot override to complete a multi-package update
successfully. For instance in the case described above, you may need
to rebuild bar against the new libfoo package and submit both packages
together as a multi-package update. However, in the normal course of
events, you would not be able to build another package against your
new libfoo build until it reached the stable state. To resolve this
dilemma, you can request a buildroot override, which causes the libfoo
build to be included in the buildroot for a short time in order to get
the bar package build done.
"""
However, I think side-tags should be the preferred solution, as their
impact is isolated. Buildroot overrides create temporary broken
dependencies for everybody, while side-tags don't.
My understanding was that this is the de-facto consensus, so I'd lie
to update the docs to say something like:
"""

And than instead of describing the details, link to
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/rawhide-gating/multi-builds/
Any suggestions or objections?
