Hi everyone,

As I understand it, Fedora 45 will comfortably use F44 packages as long
as they work. Consequently, our next major mass-rebuild likely won't
occur until F46 or F47, which is precisely when a significant number of
packages are expected to FTBFS due to incoming CMake 4 changes.

To help mitigate this, Cristian Le has already done some incredible
work and opened an extensive list of PRs addressing CMake 4 fixes.
Unfortunately, many of these pull requests are now 4 to 12 months old
and are still awaiting a response or review from the respective maintainers.

Do we really need to wait for the next official mass-rebuild to see
movement on these, or let them drift into the two-release "retire by
FTBFS" pipeline? Given that the fixes are already sitting in Pagure,
could this be a good candidate for a coordinated Proven Packager effort
to review and land these outstanding PRs early?

I would love to hear thoughts on how we can proactively address this
backlog before it becomes a major bottleneck for the distribution.
