While both of those would be helpful .. neither will really SOLVE the
issue.  This is an iterative process.  You build something, test it,
rebuild all the bad parts, test it again .. rinse, repeat

We usually have the first build 3 or so days after they release.

Many things build out of order.  They get tested and rebuilt.
