The new rpmbuild cannot build an httpd which will satisfy dependencies of current Fedora packages. The new rpmbuild will force us to break the existing ABI dependency for httpd, breaking compatibility with existing and third-party packages. And all that breakage is for zero gain, with a bunch of engineering time wasted. This change is inappropriate for a F19/20 update IMO. Yes, we know the deps are "wrong", but that was not hurting any Fedora users, and we've fixed it properly for F21.
