It does in the case where things need to be rebuilt to fix the problem
because you can rebuild everything in a side tag and tag them in all
at once in a single transaction ensuring when the daily update goes
out either everything or nothing is there.

In the case of bugs in software development I thought that most of
them should be picked up as part of gnome-continous, sure bugs happen
but CI helps stop them from getting to end users.

I think you're going a bit far here. I think what Vit is trying to say
is that rawhide isn't just meant to be a dumping ground and that while
there will be breakage it would be nice if things were co-ordinated as
much as possible to minimise that. Doing mass bumps in a rawhide side
tag would help with that.
