It was intended (modulo memstick building, docs, and some miscellaneous
cleanup) to be the final replacement for release/Makefile. In my
experience, the automatic fetching, clean build, and chroot was a major
impediment to easily making installation media for users to test
patches. I figured that if people (e.g. re@) really want a totally clean
tree, checking one out by hand and building from there didn't seem like
an enormous obstacle.
If you think it's a really important feature, I'm happy to add it back,
however.
