Well, the primary reason why we have the tag-release and
tag-minor-release Makefile targets is to bump the version or release,
and then tag that.

Could you elaborate why you do not like it?

That would mean that when you do a release and then find a problem in
Java and want to release package with a fix, you have to bump and rebuild
all other packages. Spacewalk is a collection of packages and at least
from technical and rpmbuild's POV, they are independent.

We could use this. However, does the extra work needed to achieve that
justify the benefits?
