But one of the questions is whether mass rebuilds need to be done
irrespective of that input. Not that the team is not compentent, but
we had the same input for F7 and found it not proper at several
instances already and bridge-utils is still compiled against 2.6.18
headers (just an example).

So the top question is: Always have mass rebuilds, no matter what, or
delegate this decision to a releng/tools team?

The more you wait for the decision the more it will become a
moot point as there will be no time to do rebuilds.
