The soname doesn't change and no dependencies on any rawhide

The only real incompatibility should be on the spec parse side - the bare
word vs quoted strings thing in specs (as explained in my heads-up message),
which affects a handful of packages but is also trivial for packagers to fix
if they encounter it.
ok
I could live with switching at beginning of May, but end of May /
sometime
in June is terribly late in the cycle for this. So if choosing between
these, it'd kinda have to be with f31 builders.
ok.
OTOH there are various other possibilities too, including but
probably not
limited to:
a) Switch in two stages: override the database to bdb on builders, change
rawhide on our own schedule and then remove builder override when it suits
infra
b) See if the copr bootstrap is usable now in koji
c) Just leave the builders alone and see what happens. In theory it should
all just work regardless as long as all installations are done from outside
of the chroot.
In any case, we wont be switching anything at all before we have a working
agreement with infra over the steps.
Sure. we can test some of these in staging.
