Or, thinking about it another way: the terms are overloaded. There is
the technical aspect of koji builds. There is the aspect of release
blocking. And, there's the aspect of what we promote as a project and
make user facing. Adam, I think you're arguing that we really shouldn't
use "primary" and "secondary" for anything but the first. This is hard,
because they're powerful words that _seem_ useful for describing main
effort vs. other. I think that unless we come up with some other
agreed-upon and equally powerful language, the less-technical sense is
going to keep creeping back into use. Or, we could focus on the build
system and use "koji-primary" and "koji-secondary" for that concept,
making clear that it's technical jargon.

Maybe I'm overthinking, but this whole thread suggests that I'm not the
only one. :)
