There are and will be for the forseeable future a lot of *.rpms in the wild 
built using jbj's tree. The least both projects can do is make sure that it's 
easy to detect whether a given package was built using the other camp's tools 
and in turn to prevent weird-ass errors from occurring just because someone 
tried to run an rpm file downloaded from the net. Cause if that starts to 
happen, users will soon start to resent rpm as a format altogether.

So yeah, making sure tags don't conflict in both projects sounds like a 
no-brainer.
