Regarding the wrong requires/suggests these are probably best dealt with
on separate bugs. They will receive proper attention that way and any
affected by bug 2317 can hopefully be found so we don't have broken
updates. That would be more difficult in one large update.
Other bugfixes and the big update I would say to follow KDE's example
and list what has been fixed with bug numbers, packages being updated,
srpm's. If the advisory is detailed it makes performing QA alot easier.
That is my first thought anyway. We're organising a QA meeting later
this week, you're welcome to attend and ask the team. The time/date
hasn't been finalised yet.
