And verifying that their dependencies are also properly targetting. And this work must go upstream as maintaining such patches is not something I look for espesially with projects migrating their source version and due to not setting target *boo* your build is broken. As soon as someone gets this fix properly in upstream batik/sac/whatever and next version is released the fedora rebuild will just do the proper thing.
