I have heard this several times now, but nobody actually ever says
*what* is broken.

The Fedora people seem to have done the 2.6.40 thing without any
actual reason, for example (the two programs they claim were broken
were things that they had already fixed in rawhide, afaik).

I'm not at all interested in these kinds of "all kinds of software" reports.

Details. Examples. Name the f&*cking names already. Shame them publicly.
