It's possible that I'm in the minority here, but I honestly don't think
anything should be pushed to dist-git unless it's intended to be built more
or less immediately. Yes, even changes without an immediate functional
impact like the SPDX changes.

That said, I agree with Kevin that we should have the compose reports list
anything in the compose whose state is "The commit at the HEAD of the
`rawhide` branch does not match the commit used for the latest build in
Rawhide" and treat that as a bug (ideally, we'd open one automatically)
that must be resolved prior to the next mass-rebuild (either by getting a
build done or tagging the bug in some way that indicates that it's okay for
the mass-rebuild to build it). Anything still on the list when the
mass-rebuild is ready to start should be skipped and the bug should be
marked as a blocker for Beta (to make sure it gets looked at). Detecting
this should be fairly easy, albeit adding a bit to the Koji API load.
