Fair enough. At this point in the cycle, there are at least two areas
where special attention should be paid (on the packaging side of
things, apart from "functional bugs") :
- The broken EVR upgrade paths from FC6 to F7 (I counted 10 as of today)
- The failed F7 automatic rebuilds caught by Matt's scripts

Maybe some manual poking of maintainers with packages in such
situations would be in order?
