To answer your question: Factory is not guaranteed to be always consistent.
Good.

For example, it can happen that a package is updated in such a way that dependent packages have to be updated as well, but the updated packages of the dependent packages don't build.
Well, that's fine if it really is just a build problem. But that's not always the case. Sometimes (as in the udev split) providing the new packages is just forgotten.
This will probably always happen from time to time and disappear again shortly afterwards.
Well, if "shortly" covers an interval of more thant one week, ok.
I have one (small/not-so-small) wish regarding these inconsistencies:
Could the repo be checked automatically after new packages have been
posted or packages have been replaced and the result be posted to this
list?
