Question 1:
Suppose package A fails to build from source due to a bug in package B
that is listed in package A's BuildRequires. Now that package B gets
fixed, and it is possible to build package A from source without any
modification. Do we need to bump A's release and do the rebuild in
this case?
No. List in bug A that it "Depends on" the bug number for B. Close
the bug against A once package B is fixed and its own bug closed.
Question 2:
What is the likelihood of a mass rebuild in this cycle?
I've heard rumors that it's likely, but I don't know for certain what
the trigger would be this time. Likely a glibc or gcc change.
