If it goes backwards to await a fix, that fix needs to be happening
within the same day or so. Not prolonged so that updates fail on users'
systems.
In this case, the bad rpm-build broke koji builds, and since Rawhide
may eat babies, it can happen that Rawhide users need downgrade manually
while they have to wait for the fixed rpm-build.
We are trying very hard to kill the notion that "rawhide may eat
babies". It's non-productive. There are multiple ways to throw
baby-eating updates over the wall for testing before they get into
rawhide. Stop treating it like a dumping ground.
