IMHO the best solution is to go ahead, bite the bullet, and upgrade F15
as well. The two missing bits of info:
- what packages have to be rebuilt
- how big is the change - I would assume that the API either didn't
change or is backwards compatible (since it is only a minor version
change) - is that the case?
If it is API compatible, then the rebuilds should move right through
with no problems. If the API is also incompatible, then that's a bigger
problem (as in WTF is upstream doing!).
