When we updated from PostgreSQL 11 to PostgreSQL 12 in Fedora 32, there

I would very much like to see a targeted rebuild of dependent packages
in a side tag in the scope (who does it? when?) and a contingency
mechanism that reverts to PostgreSQL 12 if many packages cannot build.
+1 for better plan for rebuilding depended packages, although not all
packages might necessarily be prepared for v13 early enough upstream --
for that reason I'd like to also see a list of depended packages that we
consider crucial (postgis, pgpool, ...), and rest that would not block
the postgresql update if they fail to build or install.
