Does that mean we actually have to rebuild things to prevent them
getting removed?
This is being discussed in the fesco ticket starting at
https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1970#comment-546480.
It seems that the policy will become to open a FTBFS bug (or possibly
wait for the mass rebuild, since we have one coming up), and let the
usual FTBFS policy take over. So if the package builds, there should
be no issue. If it FTBFS, the package will be retired after some time.
