This is pretty harsh for in-house applications for companies. We'll have
to watch the updates, rebuild the in-house applications, and deploy them
to the internal repository on the day that they go into Fedora. Not the
day before or the day after, because that would break dependencies.

You can argue that such places should not accept unfiltered Fedora
updates at all but run their own update servers.

You can also argue that such places should pick a different
distribution, because Fedora can't cater to everyone.

Just please make sure the policy is announced so that we can act
sensibly. Especially if the policy is "Gnome libraries won't require
rebuilds during a release, whereas KDE libraries might".
