Really, what we should do is this:

* When a rawhide build results in new broken dependencies, we should
immediately (and automatically):
 - Increment the release on each of the deps, commit, and try a rebuild

Surely, there will be cases which will need maintainer intervention, but
I believe there is ample evidence that the majority of these cases just
need a rebuild. Fedmsg should make this possible to do.

I brought this up in the infrastructure room at FUDCon Lawrence, and
there seemed to be general consensus that this was not only possible,
but will be done, so I hope we will actually see this soon. :)
