Meanwhile, the "Package EVR problems in FC+FE" report [1] gets longer (even ".FC6" dist tags pop up in there - what the heck?!), and Extras packagers don't rebuild their devel packages either. Even if they managed to do so with a time-consuming mock build, they could not update their rawhide machines (or upgrade FC6 to rawhide) without trying to hack a long list of excludes. Only if it can be installed, it can be tested.
