Did not happen.  Rawhide buildroot was broken yesterday around 9:50 UTC.
I was doing the rebuilds about one hour *after* GCC-9 was build, just to
have a working buildroot on Koji again [1].

gcc-python-plugin wasn't rebuilt until I triggered the build this
morning and the package actually is FTBFS due to GCC-9 [2].

This should have been done in a proper chain-build.  If the change owner
does not have the needed powers for rebuilding other packages, help and
coordination from a provenpackager should have been requested *prior* to
just dropping in a new major version of GCC.

Anyways, the intention to build a new major version of GCC should have
been announced at least one week *before* silently dropping it into
Rawhide.

Where are the results of that test mass-rebuild to be found?  How much
is the fallout in these rebuilds?

At least one of my critpath packages (libxcrypt) would have been FTBFS
due to GCC-9, if I wouldn't have pushed an immediate fix [3].
