I'm looking into these:

but since the build.log files are no longer available, I need to run new 
builds first, so it's going to take a while. :-(

Are those build.log files really so large that they cannot be kept for 
longer? :-( It's so annoying to see those build failures and to have no idea 
why the builds failed.

I also really dislike the way FTBFS are handled now. In the past, bugs were 
filed for the build failures and they were all tracked on a tracking bug in 
Bugzilla, so it was always possible to see what needed fixing, and it was 
possible for provenpackagers to work on that in a coordinated fashion. These 
days, we get surprised with the failures at the last moment when they have 
actually been happening for 2 or 3 releases (depending on whether they would 
have built on F16 had there been a mass rebuild there)! We really need to 
track those failures in Bugzilla again.
