It turned out gstreamer/freedesktop guys distribute an updated version of pango and cairo for fc4. I tested popular linux ports that depend on linux-pango (acroread, sunbird, thunderbird, firefox, nvu, nero, realplayer, flock, seamonkey, mplayerplugin) and they all worked without any trouble with the new version. The only real reason to do this during a freeze is that firefox-/seamonkey-devel and flock cannot be updated otherwise, and they are affected by several security advisories. But none of them are very popular ports, so if you think that marking them forbidden is better, I'll have no objection.
