It should be complete before branching because otherwise it would have
to happen twice, once on rawhide (F18) and one of the F17 branch.
We branch a week before alpha though, the schedule for branching is
Feb 7th so you'd want to have it complete well before then just in
case there's issues that need to be fixed. It should really be
complete before the end of Jan to give breathing room for all
involved.
By The Way, the UsrMove feature may involve rebuild also. Last time
I chatted about this, people involved were planning on fixing packages
globally.
