What we need to do is to ensure major breakage changes such as a mass rebuild are actually done a little while before branching to give people the ability to fix their packages and quickly get them in. I've been travelling for a chunk of the mass rebuild so haven't had the chance to fix alot of my breakages. We had the same problem last release with the tagging and mass breakage due to a python change. It becomes a little painful.
