If you have a deep dependency tree and the packages are scattered among many maintainers, it's much faster to use an override than to block depending packages for a week. Side tags also do not work there because every new package would reset the testing period. And if I'm not mistaken non-proven packagers cannot edit other's updates. And I don't count communication overhead. People would end up mixing various side tags and crosstagging builds.
