This is not such an issue as mock can build packages for multiple versions
of Fedora on the same machine. Thats what i do quite successfully. As for
other architectures koji can build on all the available versions and
architectures that Fedora supports.

Most of the rest of us dont have machines for all the versions and platforms
available. We test what we can and the rest we have to rely on feedback.

Time is indeed  the biggest issue. The good news is most of the simpler
packages are quite easy to package once and then just occasionally do fixes,
updates or rebuilds to cope with incompatibilities/upstream updates. Good
thing with plasma applets are they are for the most part not required by
other parts of the system so failure in an applet should only affect the
applet itself.
