Having this sort of CI would be awesome, however it looks like it's not on the
top of the TODO list:

RFE: Koschei-like CI (opened  8 months ago)
https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/45

RFE: Check if dependent packages install (opened 8 months ago)
https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/46

Support automatic execution of tests of dependent components (opened 1 year ago)
https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/general/issue/7


And either way, since CI is opt-in, I would need to go and setup CI for all of
dependencies (including transitive) of all my packages. I haven't really checked
how big is this tree but I suppose it is enormous.

Would an automated daily report (like the broken rawhide deps report that we used to have) help? I could hack that together for different fedora branches + updates-testing pretty easily, and adding notifications when a broken dependency gets added in -testing wouldn't be hard either.
