I guess you are referring an "ordered rebuild", not a "simple sequential

The latter would be mostly useless.
For bootstrapping, ideally there would be ordered rebuilds, but even any
mass rebuild assists more than having none at all :)
Well, all these sequential "mass rebuilds" are useful for, is to check
whether the current toolchain can build a previously buildable package :)
They do not mean the resulting packages are more or less broken than
those having been built by predecessors of the toolchains.
[Remember, in recent years, we have several times been hit by cases when
rebuilts inherited bugs from e.g. rpm, glibc, or GCC.]
