If this change is in violation of policy, PLEASE refrain from
performing it until such time as the FPC reviews the proposed changes.
Also, if this is going to impact a large number of packages, it should
either be coordinated with the existing mass-rebuild plan or else
performed in a private branch and then merged in. If something goes
wrong with your mass-rebuild, it will be difficult to address in
Rawhide with some packages updated and some not.
