It's not a stab. Although if you take everything personal, you might think
it is.
You implied that only the build order is what makes it hard. I doubt that
build order is what took 86 days. But I don't know what exactly took 86
days, because the build process and the problems are closed.
So this discussion may seem to you as trolling, but I cannot be more
specific, can I ? Transparancy would actually make this discussion
worthwhile, maybe even exciting, and solutions possible.

Well, every package that needs to be rebuild is a maze. If you require
everyone to rebuild the same package and potentially troubleshoot that
package, you are duplicating A LOT OF work, and you may be introducing
differences in builds (due to build order) that make problems unique to a
specific build.
So not only would that be unworkable, it would be deliberatly harder to
release sooner.
All when CentOS is already doing some of that work, behind doors.
