My plan for Rawhide/Branched is to gate updates only if they break the dependencies of any compose- critical package, rather than gating on *all* failures. That still requires a bit work, though. I need to get something to expose the compose-critical package data in a convenient way, and it's probably Bodhi, since it's Bodhi that stores and exposes the critical path package list (and I want Bodhi to use compose-critical package info for other reasons too). Then I have to adjust rmdepcheck and/or the CI pipeline to somehow make it convenient to distinguish between a 'ccp' and 'non-ccp' failure... I suppose we *could* decide it's fine to gate Rawhide on all rmdepcheck failures and just require people to waive cases where they intentionally break other deps? Meh.
