In this case it was hard.  You have to have your other bits that user dbus 
compiled with the new dbus before you can tell if its broken or not, and you 
have to have the new dbus in the build system in order to compile the other 
bits...

Our window from build to live is a day.  Rawhide is pushed every morning at 
around 2am I do believe (it varies from time to time), so if you can get your 
change into the build system, you can usually test it out locally and repair 
anything that is needed before the push.  With something like dbus, there was 
just too many other packages to build to be able to accurately test it before 
the rawhide push.  This is the nature of rawhide.
