I believe he misspoke.  You are of course free to make 300 small
separate specfile changes between each build attempt.

There is a desire to move to a point where we can be reasonably sure
that a cvs tag corresponds to a specific build.  Since we have no way
of making only tags corresponding to successfully built packages
immutable, all tags must be immutable.
Find me a way to mark only the subset of cvs tags which correspond to
a successful koji build as immutable.
