It should be complete before branching because otherwise it would have to happen twice, once on rawhide (F18) and one of the F17 branch. F15 packages are not surprising as there wasn't a mass rebuild during F16. There were a number of packages that were broken and not rebuilt/fixed as part of the f15 mass rebuild which should have been. > I can put gcc-4.7.0-0.2.fc17 say mid next week into the buildroots, > but would strongly prefer to have it there for at least two weeks > of voluntary rebuilds, so that there is enough time to report bugs > and get them fixed, before a real mass rebuild starts. > So, if at all possible, I'd prefer the mass rebuild to start around January > 19th or 20th.

We branch a week before alpha though, the schedule for branching is Feb 7th so you'd want to have it complete well before then just in case there's issues that need to be fixed. It should really be complete before the end of Jan to give breathing room for all involved.
