As I understand it the whole full build and QA and whatever may still be
done again. The big difference is that the whole work of how to build and
setting up the build infrastructure has already been done and is known and
tested. So the complete build is going quite fast and the big delays are a
thing of the past.

If it's going to be like that it sounds very good.
