Thanks. The main issue is that there are circular dependencies, and it
requires bootstrapping in some cases and disabling the checks in
others, and then another pass to reenable everything. So if the
rawhide rebuild can be based on the result of the F37 side tag, then
bootstrapping etc. is not required, and the rebuild is fast and
straightforward. More so if no commits are needed.
That might be possible, I'll look into it when it comes to that.
First the f37 update needs to be finished and submitted :)
