OK, let's assume this was only for this release cycle and look back at
all release cycles. Here are some numbers for i386 for FC1-FC6:

Extras:
Total number of packages:	  16731
Total number of unique packages:  16526 (98.8%)

Core w/o updates:
Total number of packages:         10992
Total number of unique packages:  10908 (99.2%)

So the package rebuild is about 99%. Here are some more numbers on
packages that were not rebuild from release to release:

FC5->FC6: 29 extras,  0 core
FC4->FC5: 62 extras,  0 core
FC3->FC4: 17 extras, 39 core
FC2->FC3: --,         0 core
FC1->FC2: --,         3 core
