Wanting to be able to rapidly iterate as we develop a very complicated distribution is not "verionitis". It's sound software development principles. Reducing the time it takes to compile something and be able to test it is one way to increase your productivity. This is true whether you're compiling a simple C program or a complete distribution CD. -- see shy jo
