Bugs are now filed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=WebAssets-BundledBinaries

The query ran for this includes Flash files (.swf), Flash source files
(.fla), Silverlight files (.xap), and Shockwave Director (.dcr) files.
 No new packages were surfaced by the expanded query but quite a few
that have .swf files turned out to be bundling some of the more exotic
kind too.

The list of files found is included with the bug, of course.

Anyone who has fixed their packages in Rawhide already won't get a
bug.  If you did get a bug despite having fixed your package please
double-check it, as these files still appear as of last night's
Rawhide compose. There was at least one I thought someone already said
they had fixed.
