Brian,

you are right there are some changes which are now backward compatible. That's the reason why we need cross-component cooperation from other maintainers to detect these pieces and potentially report them to upstream and see if they are willing to fix them. Another option is also to create a compat package for autoconf-2.69 for f35, but it can lead to a result, where some of the maintainers/upstreams will never use autoconf-2.71.

If there are any packages, which are already orphaned, do not hesitate to let me know and I will remove them. Also, if you are missing any package there. Autoconf changes have a huge impact on the whole system, so it needs to be properly tested and agreed.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Ondrej

But Brian is (or can be) inside the VPN.  That's what I was referring to.
