That's a serious problem if the package then needs to be rebuilt for a
security issue and the new features creep in at that point. Speaking from
experience as someone who rebuilds a lot of packages, this is exactly the
reason to rebuild all packages at some point in the development cycle. It
sucks to discover that a package doesn't actually rebuild cleanly anymore
when you really need to do it urgently. Having the dist tag all match is a
nice side benefit.
