What about packages that fail to build because they depend on some
other package that is broken?  I've got one in that state now.  It
fails to build from source because one of its BuildRequires is broken.
 There's nothing wrong with my package.  Once the other guy fixes his,
mine will magically start building again.  If the other guy hasn't
fixed his package by Beta, how is dropping mine going to help?
