Another big change in this release. Builds (rpm for now) can be run with
``--draft`` option. It is different from scratch build in the way that it is
1st class build with modified release (containing "-draft-<id>" suffix).
Nevertheless, this release change is done only on build level. RPMs are using
original release, so they are indistunguishible from other draft builds for
same NVR. Such behaviour violates rules that there are no two rpms with the
same filename. That is the reason, why they are called "draft builds".
Another big change in this release. Builds (rpm only for now) can be run with
``--draft`` option to mark it as a draft.
To bring them back to uniqueness, such build can be "promoted". In such case it
is renamed to original release and all other draft builds from given NVR are
forever forbidden to be promoted.
Draft builds should not be confused with scratch builds. Scratch builds are
simply stored as files and cannot be tagged in Koji. Draft builds, on the other
hand, are actual builds with a modified release value and the ``draft`` flag
set to True. Koji appends a draft suffix of ``,draft{build_id}`` to the release
for the build entry. This allows building multiple drafts for the same NVR.
This release change is done only on the build level. The RPM components of the
build are not modified when creating a draft build. The system will now allow
overlapping rpm NVRA values, but only for draft builds.
Draft builds can be "promoted" to non-draft using the ``promote-build`` cli
command. The promoted build is renamed to remove the draft suffix. The original
file path is replaced with a symlink to the new location.
This is a one-time transition, i.e. builds cannot be "unpromoted".
Only one draft build for a given NVR can be promoted, and once Koji has a
non-draft build for a given NVR, further draft builds for that NVR are blocked.
Typical use would be PR/MR workflow. There could be many "candidate" draft
builds and only one which will pass testing and/or other workflows will be

Handling of when/where draft builds can be used (e.g. in some buildroots but
not in the others) is done by ``is_draft`` policy test.
Draft builds could be viewed as "light namespacing" in koji or "more persistent
scratch builds".

Reusing repodata with distrepo is dangerous as rpms could be signed with
different keys. So, now is the default behaviour to always stat rpms to be sure
different keys. So, now the default behaviour is to always stat rpms to be sure
that they don't differ from cached metadata. This behaviour can be overriden by
``--skip-stat`` CLI option. Note, that you've to be sure what you're doing in

such case (typically you don't care about signatures in this repo).
