Well there=E2=80=99s core-updates for changes that trigger a rebuild of 90%= of the packages, and then occasionally topic branches (=E2=80=98python-updates= =E2=80=99, etc.) Once =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99 is merged (hopefully in a few days), we= could start a =E2=80=98staging=E2=80=99 branch and put changes that require between ~30= 0 and ~1200 rebuilds. The idea would be to close the branch much more quickly than core-updates (the changes should be less disruptive, with little chance of breaking things.) Ludo=E2=80=99.
