We have on our todo list to 'enforce' the existing autoqa tests, for
depcheck and upgrade path, but we're a little short on people ATM and
everyone keeps getting roped into validation testing. I think enforcing
depcheck for Rawhide would be going a bit far, though, because then
you'd have to use a side tag to do soname bumps, so we kind of have a
problem there: we can't blindly reject dependency-breaking changes to
Rawhide, but that's the kind of thing that usually causes problems in
Rawhide...
