But either way we lose the build bunching. It’s equivalent, except that no manual intervention is needed. It does lead to a large number of package rebuilds, yes. We could schedule it to run periodically (like once every two weeks) to reduce the likelihood of repeated rebuilds. The key being: we know that we can ungraft soon after the graft has been pushed unlike now, where there’s no process in place and manual intervention is needed (create branch and jobset, monitor, merge).
