:( I'll raise it again with Nick and Jakub, it's a sore point for everyone I
think and it causes far more friction than just what we see here in Fedora.
I think this could be easily fixed by using a side-tag to do the
necessary bootstrap there and then tag everything into rawhide from
the side-tag in one go, or am I missing something?
This would "just" require the involved devs/packagers to make sure that
they always do breaking updates in such a side tags; and yes I require
that getting into the habbit of doing this is going to take a bit of
getting used to.
