That description of the auto rebuild process makes it sound like the

to rebuild things in a random order. Please tell us it ain't so.
Ordered rebuilds generally only are necessary when bumping sonames or
otherwise bootstrapping items. Given that neither of those apply for
this rebuild, effort spent trying to order and chain builds would be
effort wasted.
Well, there is one change in F11, which introduces a need for an least
partial ordered rebuild:
rpm has started to automatically add
Provides: pkgconfig(foo)
and to automatically add
Requires: pkgconfig(foo)
This requires an ordered rebuild in cases, when a package is part of a
chain of (devel) package deps.
