Given the known large number of failures (OptionalJavadocs says "80% build
failure rate" without saying that all are JavaDoc-related), we really
should do a mass rebuild to identify which packages fail to build *and* to
file bugs soonish, instead of waiting for a Fedora-wide mass rebuild and
then scrambling to fix dozens/hundreds of build failures in to avoid
slipping the schedule. We don't necessarily need an official one, perhaps
only in a never-to-be-merged side tag (or even scratch builds?)
