Simple: Packages don't rebuilt unless there is a necessity to do so

Ok - simple, well fine, but beyond the obvious "duh" here, define
necessity please? (Rhetorical)
How do you (or maintainers) know with certainty that there isn't a
header file dependence, or a compiler change that would lead to a faster
(or a bug for that matter).
Is that a necessity if someone has verified working functionality of
an older binary - no probably not - (tho I have no idea if such testing
occurs) but it will lead to bugs being found sooner and any benefits
from compiler improvements etc being taken advantage of. And frankly,
its a bad operational decision to defer full builds.
Further - it just plain 'looks' better for f15 packages to be called f15.
Necessity? Probably not - is it a good idea to wait until a problem
occurs as the decision to rebuild - also probably not.
One man's simple is another man's food for thought.
