Well, if somebody manages to build a package twice within a second,
using two different versions of a compiler ... then they still won't be
any worse off than they are today. Koji should still not allow it.

That could also work. Locally rebuilt packages would of course lack the
task ID, so they would compare as less than the official package. Is
that desirable? It could work as an incentive for the user to add some
local tag to the release value, making it clearer that the package has
been modified locally.
Or would we want to modify the disttag so that locally rebuilt packages
would compare as greater than the corresponding official package? Then
Yum would replace the official package with the rebuilt one, but would
still install an official update with a greater release number.
