I think at least one mass rebuild towards the end of the release cycle makes sense, e.g. when the release is in freeze status: I've been doing that since several releases and was always very surprised to see what other dependencies both run-time and build-time changed and broke something, even from testX to testX+1. For example the recent glibc made some incompatible chownat changes. We do have some semi-official rebuilds made by Matt, but they don't get the attention they need. It would be different if Matt's rebuilds happened right into rawhide with the packagers being forced to face the bugs when using rawhide. But it may be too late in the release cycle for F7 to bring this up. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
