It's done by basing off of the F16FTBFS bug, as that's the easiest source
of info when we haven't done a mass rebuild.
We could include everything with older dist tags. Looking at it, that would
be 78 more packages.
... although for ones that are attached to F16FTBFS, the maintainers have
had open issues for over a year noting that their package didn't built. For
other packages, they may be less aware, and this would come as more of a
surprise to them.
