Yeah, but -10 had the drop of RPC, so the damage is already done.  -10
was broke (in that IIRC netdb.h still tried to include rpc.h), so an
update will still be needed or a completely broke setup will be shipped.

IMHO the drop of RPC should be rolled back for F15 (e.g. back to the way
the glibc -9 package looked), as this is WAY too late in the game to be
changing the core library like that.  A change like that should land in
rawhide long before release (right now for F16 would be good), so FTBFS
can be found, requirements updated, and possibly patches generated.

What was the justification for pushing an updated glibc post-beta?
Aren't critpath updates supposed to be approved post-beta (or am I
misremembering the process)?
