Yes, they have grown over the past couple of months.  I tried reporting build
failures in bugzilla with limited success and I don't have time to fix them
all at the moment.

No.  Other than the output from koji-shadow, which isn't really accessible or
easy to read over.

This is because koji-shadow is dumb and didn't bring in the glibc64 package.
It will likely work if submitted by hand.

The repos for the tags?  Not sure.  My bandwidth is the limiting factor for
most of this and I'm hoping to get new hardware placed into the PXH2 datacenter
in not horribly long.
