Sorry, I'm not familiar with the process here. How does rebuilding help with testing? Doesn't it mean you have something _less_ tested?

What helps is not rebuilding packages (I'm fine with using EPEL packages if they are available) but publishing packages in SIG's managed repos instead of just enabling EPEL repos. I can test those builds (whether rebuilt or just cross-tagged) before tagging and pushing them to the actual repos.

Ah, that makes sense. I'm definitely in favor of figuring out how to do the cross-tagging here.
