Or those reports just come straight to us and we have to say "yes we
know, but we're not going to fix it", like this:

It's fixed in rawhide now, but are we still against fixing it for F41?
Affected Fedora packages might have been fixed, but people build other
software on Fedora that isn't already packaged and built in koji.

I'll add a workaround in boost-devel if the decision is still that
openssl shouldn't fix it in F41.
