Could be that devel list is doomed. Normal mass-rebuilds most of the time
are not a problem at all. If, however, with "bump 10 or 15 packages" you
include a "version-upgrade of 10 or 15 packages", then we're not talking
about the same thing.

Would only work if nothing got built already. Else an Epoch bump would be
needed for version upgrades the maintainer doesn't agree with.
