The surprise came because months-old bugs that maintainers had long forgotten of suddenly got acted upon with no further warning. Luckily, in my case, the FTBFS for my KDE 3 packages actually resolved itself (the output of the "file" tool on aarch64 was somehow changed back to something the old libtool understands, so the workaround that I had already applied to a handful packages and was intending to apply to the rest (had I actually been warned before the mass retirement started) was no longer needed) and so the bugs were closed as WORKSFORME and the packages not retired. But I could easily had been hit too. The 4 F31 FTBFS bugs that I'm CCed on are all already fixed now, by the way. (Though qtwebkit will be screwed again when your draconian python2 removal hits, but that is for another thread.)
