Depends on what needs to be helped.
There are situations when an exclude is appropriate because of a
REAL packaging error in rawhide. But please, don't suggest that
as a cure, until that is confirmed via manual checking the
dependacy chain. If Robert is hitting a corner case bug, that I'm
not hitting, having him exclude katana to get around it does not
help find the reason. The point of testing is to find the bugs
and fix them, not work around them blindly.

You are, of course, correct. I tend to work in smaller steps to a
solution rather than larger ones. I think we'd both arrive at the
same door although the particular steps to get there might differ;
i.e. we would still have had to deal with the "duplicate" sooner or
later.
Carry on, you do good work too!
