If we need to rebuild glibc then Nanar really shouldn't be rebuilding
things with the new rpm just for the hell of it, especially not things
that are required to build stuff.  And especially not things that are in
main.

It's really absurd to be breaking stuff that doesn't need to be
broken...  And if all glibc needs is a rebuild so it provides the new
devel stuff why hasn't it been done already and for that matter why
didn't Nanar do it when he rebuilt elfutils?

This all seems rather haphazard to me.  If we're going to be making
changes that break things and require rebuilding to fix then either a
script should be written to do all the rebuilds so everything gets
rebuilt promptly.  Or we need to have an explanation of the migration.
Yeah it's cooker, but if we break stuff we need to cook it is rather
silly.

And I have no idea who Andi is or what I'd be getting him started about.
I'm just trying to get some packages updated that I haven't done because
I've been busy.  I finally find time to do it and someone goes and
breaks rpmlint so I can't ensure my packages are good.  The way I see it
if you break something then you need to fix it and fix it promptly.
