how should we tackle this in the future ?

1) go towards an automated rebuild system, where the firefox maintainer 
can ask for automated rebuilds of the handful of packages that depend on it

2) instead, notify (automatically) the maintainers of the affected 
packages as soon as a firefox successful build appears in koji, but 
otherwise don't slow down the firefox release
