- Fedora packages must be buildable (An FTBFS alone is a violation of 
the FPG)
- fc12/13 were using different CFLAGS, paths and rpm. It's very likely 
these packages are vulnerable and unusable.
- Fedora packages must carry the current release %dist.

That said, packages which FTBFS since F12 should be removed and abandoned.
