What I'm saying is that these numbers often happen naturally instead of forced 
by a full rebuild.  _That_ is the model that hasn't changed.  The ONLY time 
we've done a forced rebuild is for technical reasons and NOT for arbitrary 
reasons like "hrm, this is test2, maybe we should rebuild everything just for 
the hell of it" or "there is a lot of disttags that haven't been updated, 
lets do rebuilds to reset them, that sounds like a good idea...".

Rebuilding for technical reasons is fine, relying upon throwaway rebuilds to 
find said technical reasons is strongly encouraged.  Picking arbitrary points 
to forcefully rebuild everything is not.
