I think I'd prefer simply doing a release that we declare as one of
those people shouldn't base their LTS distros on, and then quickly doing
follow-up releases. 

We should try hard to get much faster with releases again.

Hmm, I wonder if we should just do the work and rebuild all packages
that use the old libraries and then disable the compat libs in the
RPM. But then again, I am a very lazy person....

But yeah, it is definitely my intention to upload this to rawhide
quickly with --disable-kdbus set.
