Well, all I can say, building rawhide packages (esp. C++) seems to have 
evolved into a lottery and rendered working one Fedora packages into an 
adventure.

E.g. I am facing packages which one day build, but fail to build the 
other day. Today, I have been facing a package which builds in local 
rawhide mocks, but fails in official koji.

To be honest, this is very non-satisfactory!

Not sure - IMO, we need to minimize the causes of breakdowns, because at 
the moment too many issues seem to be interacting at the same time ( 
GCC-5.0, "harding", "usual package upgrade churn).

A non "hardened" mass rebuild, would have been an intermediate step 
which would have been helpful, but ... it's too late, IMO.
