At today's FESCo meeting, FESCo approved a policy to deprecate and
block packages that FTBFS with dist tags of (N-2) and earlier,
therefore .f12, .f13, and .f14 in prep for the f16 branch.  At this
point, there are no packages which FTBFS from that date which do not
have a dist tag.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Deprecate_FTBFS_packages

has been added to the Release Engineering Release SOP for comment and
review enacting this.

The packages below are the initial candidate list; packages which have
new builds present in rawhide prior to branching f16 will no longer be
considered candidates, so fix your packages sooner rather than later please...
