If there aren't FTBFS bug reports in the future, that's going to make
doing FTBFS-blocking tricky. Did you generate your list merely from
"things with older dist tags, so they obviously didn't rebuild", or from
some more canonical source?
Things with older dist tags that I then cross checked because they
were also not building on ARM. Most of them were ftbfs in both the
F-15 and F-17 mass rebuilds, some even in the F-12 mass rebuild! Matt
stepped down from his ftbfs some time ago and I've never seen anything
done about it since.
