That is probably still a small number of packages compared to the
complete fedora package set.  So I'd expect "give koji a whitelist"
will work better than "blacklist in specfiles".

That should be a rather small set of packages too, probably not much
beyond SDL and maybe mesa for the newer ones.

Anything which does *not* go that route to display stuff and tries to
talk directly to the hardware (hello svgalib) will most likely not work
anyway on modern hardware ...
