I believe this wiki page should have been included in the announce mail:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_15_Mass_Rebuild
For those that don't particularly follow devel day-to-day, the blurb
about the XZ change is pretty uninformative. I've tried to dig back a
bit and it seems the XZ change is to pick up XZ 5.0. It seems the
rebuild was done to fix Delta RPM generation? From a package
standpoint, will that mean that F14 is incapable of reading F15 RPMs?
Does that impact mock?
I'd be happy to flesh out the change a bit more in detail if someone
could point me at what is really changing in terms of XZ compression
and what it means going forward. Better late than never.

im able to init a rawhide chroot on F14, so the xz compression format is
supported. its a incompatiable change. what would have been broken is
deltarpm creation if the original and update use different compression we cant
generate deltarpms.
