Building the fixed package right now allows doing automated/scripted mass 
rebuilds, which may well be the method used when GCC 4.3 actually hits Rawhide. 
It is also useful for the on-the-side mass rebuilds like the one Jakub did.

This is Rawhide, I think you really don't have to worry about not pushing 
rebuilds which aren't absolutely needed.
