Hi,

We have a ticket on how to clean up packages with broken deps:

https://pagure.io/releng/issue/6877

We had a discussion about this issue in our releng meeting on Jul 10th
2017. The problem is that there is no good way of solving this issue, but
we came up two options:

1. Blocking the pkgs at branching and unblock them as necessary, pkg
maintainers will request to unblock them and releng will review them and
unblock them. Advantage is that we will more aware of whats got blocked and
whats got unblocked. But it needs releng handling the tickets and we are
not sure how many will show up per release cycle.

2. Using bodhi with greenwave to block pkgs. And config waiverdb to waive
certain pkgs even if they are having dep issues so that they wont be
blocked. And other pkgs can be blocked which can be unblocked by either
releng or the pkg maintainer. We can configure it how ever we want like
allowing only releng to unblock them when pkg maintainer files a ticket.

Please let us know what you think and we are open to any other suggestions.
