IMHO, it should be the job of those people who broke the packages to fix
them. E.g., if yet another incompatible GCC update breaks dozens of C and/or
C++ packages, it should be up to the GCC maintainers to make them build
again. If some policy change requires a specfile update (e.g., the addition
of explicit BuildRequires: gcc-c++), it should be up to the people who
mandated the policy change to do this update (which was at least partially
done in the aforementioned example, but there were still dozens of packages
left to the individual package maintainers to fix for various reasons). The
current situation where you can break hundreds of packages and then expect
somebody else to fix them is really antisocial and unfair.
