Oh, that's touchy subject. Not because of CentOS and SL, but because
RHEL is all but self-hosting. Some parts have been taken from FC6
(~15%), so they have been built in some FC6 environment, others from
not anymore existing gcc compilers (or internal ones). I talked to
CentOS last week and there are cases where the CentOS kernel oopses,
when the RHEL one doesn't and vice-versa.

So RHEL and clones are a bad example when it comes to talking about
(re)builds. I think Fedora can do far better than this.
