Please, in doing rebuilds, go for the *minimal possible* change from the
package currently in *stable* for F18. If any of the packages have
bumped significantly in updates-testing - especially critpath packages -
this could be a problem and we might want to look at rolling back
somehow. Please don't merge down any changes that don't absolutely need
to be in F18. We're past freeze at this point and should be aiming for
minimal change.

If we need to rebuild we need to rebuild, but I'll be checking certainly
all the 'sensitive' packages in this set to ensure they have absolute
minimal possible changes.

Please co-ordinate with QA and releng if you see any packages where we
may need to do some special handling. Thanks!
