With Koji, it is pretty easy to find out EXACTLY what packages were in the 
buildroot to build any given package.  The dist tag is not necessary for 
guessing.

All your above scenarios are valid, and can be mitigated by on the side 
continuous rebuilds of packages to identify when changes might happen, which 
would allow the maintainers and release team to make decisions as to which 
packages should be rebuilt for a new build chain.  It does not mean we should 
just blanket rebuild everything just because we can and there could 
POTENTIALLY be issues in SOME packages.
