That was the idea. Provide a trivial opt-out so that upstreams had time to fix properly. I even volunteered to add the opt-out marker where appropriate to minimize the FTBFS issues. I also volunteered to help with the packages that don't honor flags injection.

I contacted ffesti about 6 weeks ago -- shortly after the commit went upstream GCC and I'd consulted with the SuSE engineers about how they were planning to handle this situation. Sadly I got no response whatsoever from ffesti.
