So in other words, when the release team branches devel to F7 they
don't do a rebuild on all packages like they should?
This seems just a little dangerous to me. All packages should be
rebuilt on branches. I am really quite surprised that this is not
already done. There are already automatic rebuilding scripts, why not
just kick off a shell script?
I would think that checking that a package actually builds before a
release would be somewhat important...
