 I had requested this some time back, to increase the visibility of the
 broken deps so that Fedora maintainers could work together collectively to
 spot major API breakage/cross-distro package issues, rather than being
 buried (and therefore ignored) at the end of the list of updated packages.

 For a while Jesse did this manually, but it has now reverted to being at
 the bottom again.  Suggestion here:

 http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-March/msg00678.html

 was to have the following order:

  * new packages
  * broken deps
  * changes

 which seems sensible to me.

 If you can point me to the source that generates the report, I'll look
 into writing some patches.
