The broken dep isn't always something everybody would hit, and with the size 
of the package base it would be pretty hard to hold up trees from being 
released until such time the entire package set has no broken deps.  It would 
leave testers out in the cold for testing specific package functionality or 
testing bugfixes.  I think we're putting too much emphasis on rawhide being a 
completely installable tree.
