Rebuild without a changelog entry is something I'm very much against, 
especially if an issue creeps into the build precisely because it hasn't been 
rebuilt in a while.

Doing this type of rebuild at this point is a no-go IMHO.  We're trying to 
accomplish too many other things with this release.  I definitely would never 
want to see such a rebuild after the last test release, preferably I'd see it 
before the feature freeze since such rebuilds could pick up new "features".

I'm still very much of the opinion that mass builds should only be done when 
there is a technical reason, flipping a dist tag is not reason enough for me.  
The only "confusion" comes from us not messaging how Fedora is put together 
clearly enough, highlighting inheritance from previous releases.

We have Matt's rebuilds that happen regularly, these can be reviewed for 
things we might want to do a real rebuild for, instead of just blindly 
rebuilding everything for often no good reason.
