It really depends on what these packages are (and had I assumed that was
hyperbole anyway). It sure wouldn't apply to 99% of my (or the
neuro-sig) packages, but would to quite a few.

To re-iterate: everyone should remember to check what impact their
package builds/updates have on other packages before building/pushing
(even for rawhide).

Again, it really depends on your packages. You maintain lots of core
libraries where API/ABI bumps etc. do not/should not be pushed to stable
releases. For the neuro-sig, we do have quite a few python packages that
have frequent minor/patch releases and we do push these as updates to
stable branches also after doing impact checks. So, I do use my script
for these.
