Ugh, that sucks.

A mass rebuild is probably the best option.  I guess we could wait
till there either is another reason to do an additional mass rebuild.
If that doesn't happen till 2.20 is released, then we request a mass
rebuild in primary when 2.20 is released.

Either way, a mass rebuild seems inevitable, unless Carlos has a
better idea.

I assume a mass rebuild in rawhide is easier to request?

That would mean dropping that patch (i.e. reverting the revert), which
makes us incompatible with other distros.

I'm guessing no, but it's just out of conservatism and I can't think
of a reason to back it.  I don't think we provide any ABI guarantees
for Fedora, but I am not aware of usage in s/390 to know if someone
expects such consistency across distros.  It might be an option to
consider if primary refuses to do a mass rebuild.

The other option would be to stay frozen at this point and never
really become 2.20, which is not a very nice thing, but not the end of
the world either.
