Just an idea I had and wanted to float it out to the group...
I think it would be nice to get an informational (obviously, not a
blocking type check) to get changes in the requires or provides of a
package. It would be a hassle to check it manually but I hope it
would
be fairly easy to automate.
I'm thinking the output would just be a simple log showing added or
removed items and perhaps version/soversion changes.
One instance it might has helped in is BZ#842181, although in this
case only rawhide was affected so as far as I know there's no real
mechanism to "cancel" the update.
Thoughts?

Something like this? [1] [2]
We already do that in the form of 'rpmguard' test [3]. Currently you have to
sign-up manually to receive rpmguard/rpmlint results for new package builds [4].
