If koji is the one that determine the timestamp these shouldn't really
be big problems, and the timestamped tag is useful just to connect the
job that has been run with the exact version of CVS files used to run
it. It's all koji controlled and matched by teh same timestamp being
saved as part of the build metadata so unless you fear that 2 builds for
the same package can start at the exact same moment I don't think it is
going to be a big deal, is it ?

Simo.
