The goal for F11 is to have all packages rebuilt.

There is no policy.  The only time we attempt to have everything rebuilt
is if there is a technical change that requires it, such as rpm format
change.  Otherwise there is no need to wastefully rebuild packages that
are just content or noarch or otherwise don't need to change between
releases.
