At a guess, these failed the rebuilds, perhaps?
Most are likely just packages that haven't been rebuild during the past few devel cycles and hence still have the disstag from the F7, F8, F9, or F10 devel cycle. That's normal, as there is no need to rebuild big data packages without need, as that would force unnecessary downloads for people.
If you actually look at the list, few of them fit the description 'big
data package'. They're normal things like applications, libraries and X
drivers, which really should get rebuilt from cycle to cycle.

Yeah, that might be good for some of the packages in the list. But FESCo left that decision up to the maintainers; automatic or semi automatic rebuild of all packages in each devel cycle have been discussed iirc at least two time in the past few Fedora years and both time it was agreed on to not do them.
