Does Core have an accurate count of packages which are built against libraries from firefox?

+1 --- although I suspect Jeff meant that already, ie, he was just
using firefox as an example of a package with many dependent packages.
I'd like to see an automatic notification mechanism that "package FOO
that your package BAR Requires: or BuildRequires: was just updated".

To make life interesting: sometimes a package rebuild is for trivial
reasons.  If there were such a notification mechanism, then ideally the
owner of the package-having-dependencies should be able to mark a
particular rebuild as "all hands on deck!" or "take a look but probably
no problemo" or "fear not, nothing interesting here".
