True, but if it's something like 'a build dependent package is broken',
you're unlikely to remember to just re-push the task two days later
when it's fixed. In any case, turning off force tag would lead to
either:
- needless release & changelog inflation
or
- usage of scratch builds just to test that it builds everywhere
Actually, do we even know if disabling force tag can be worked around?
