As an obvious point yet perhaps worth raising, a bug in a library doesn't necessarily mean everything has to be rebuilt."

Right, I tried to mention this when I said "but long term, perhaps we could figure out how to declare what changed in the update and have the no change auto builds mechanism detect what needs to be built based on that". I was trying to convey that even in the very nearest of short term, we can just rebuild everything, and we can figure out how to be smarter as we go.
