The advantage I see in the proposal is that the final build gets promoted,
so you have an artifact which has, theoretically at least, been under
scrutiny, rather than a new one which we _hope_ is the same.

But I'm not sure that really buys us a lot in quality, since the build
environment updates. If promoting the scratch build avoids a problem that
would have happened if it were rebuilt... well, that problem is going to
come up later during a mass or automatic rebuild later anyway.

It does, of course, reduce extraneous throw-away computing.
