IMHO, the real issue is the one Robbie Harwood pointed out: It should

a common occurrence for a provenpackager to have to rebuild a package, and
in particular, provenpackagers should NOT do scripted mass changes. A
provenpackager should always check what the latest package in Rawhide
actually is before blindly rebuilding dist-git HEAD. (As a provenpackager, I
always do that before I do anything to a package owned by someone else.)
We have to do scripted mass rebuilds to manage the OCaml package set.
Anything else is completely unscalable and will in effect mean we will
have to drop anything but bare-minimum OCaml support in Fedora.
