I'd like to do this only for technical reasons such as compiler changes or breaking inheritance from previous releases.

Just wondering: Do we care about packages currently in devel which still have the fc6 dist tag?

$ lftp -c "open \
http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/linux/extras/development/i386/;\ ls; quit" | grep '.fc6.' | wc -l
1330

I think it's a *bit* confusing to have a F7 tree later with lots of packages which have a fc6 in the filename... Maybe we should have something in the package guidelines that says "if you use a dist tag then you should try to rebuild the package once during a development cycle so the disttag matches the actually release."

But as I said, it's just a detail.

I'd rather see other non-intrusive methods for finding awol maintainers.

Agreed. Anyway, if we haven't anything in place to find AWOL maintainers by F8T2 then my vote is to have a mass rebuild shorty after that again (but we might have new toolchain by then anyway that would make a rebuild likely).
