Rpm 4.11 alpha (or actually post-alpha snapshot to pull in a few accumulated fixes + enhancements) will be hitting rawhide shortly. There's no soname bump involved this time, so no rebuilds required.
There's one thing that does affect nearly every package: new warnings about bogus spec changelog dates. The most common cause is the day name not matching the given date, such as:
warning: bogus date in %changelog: Tue Jun 03 2009 Panu Matilainen <pmatilai@xxxxxxxxxx> - 4.7.0-5
Jun 03 2009 was Wednesday, not Tuesday, hence the warning. As rpm hasn't hasn't previously validated changelog dates make sense as a whole, nearly every spec has one or more of these mistakes. It's just a warning though and doesn't cause build failures.
Other than that, chances are you wont notice much anything at all. Assuming all goes well that is. So its the usual drill: keep your eyes open on rawhide builds and report any new oddities found ASAP. I'm not expecting any major issues with this but you never really know.
For further details see the draft release notes at http://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.11.0
I can't build the latest wesnoth in rawhide, but I can in all older releases. Fails because some of the data is missing.
