I am doing a full build of the rawhide tree so we are up to date on
this.  I am devoting this full week to fedora stuff (unless someone
drags me into an unforseen RHEL issue).  Expect a list to be posted in a
day or two.  If you can send me the list from your script that would be
helpful also (more data is a good thing).

As I go through the builds I am starting to file BZs on some of the more
critical packages.  That info will be on the list as well.
