A package like bbconf has a buildrequires for libqt3-devel, but not for XFree86-devel. libqt3-devel should require XFree86-devel, but it doesn't, so compiling bbconf breaks. Ofcourse, if it gets filed in bugzilla it can be reassigned to libqt3-devel. This is just one example, and imo not release critical. Maybe after 9.1?
