Well there's no question we can all live without force-tag :-), it's
merely a minor annoyance that packagers will have to deal with.
But I'm really bothered by the message this is sending. Infrastructure
takes away a tool that was useful and popular amongst packagers, with NO
effort to provide an alternative or at least some workaround for failed
builds retagging. This is not cool. I would like to kindly request that
infrastructure makes some effort to come up with a solution (i.e a
reasonably short term one, not just "migrate to new SCM").
