I think it's a *bit* confusing to have a F7 tree later with lots of

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.
Imho this is better than having to download / install every installed package
on ones system, just because the new disttag looks nicer. This way at least
some packages do not need to be reinstalled.
Totally agreed. But maybe for packages that don't need much updates it
might be better to just not use the disttag to avoid the confusion it
can create...
For the packages that *do* build during Matt's automated rebuilds, does
anyone pay attention to the rpmdiff logs? [...]
No idea. I'd say we in the long term should use idle time on our regular
builders to rebuild all our packages regularly into a devel-scratch repo
(where everything gets deleted after some days), use scripts to analyze
the packages and especially the differences against the packages in the
repo and send a report in case of errors to the maintainer and out QA
guys. Especially the "send the report to the maintainers directly" part
IMHO is quite important.
