To clarify, the guidelines about how many rebuilds are okay for which branch are in item 8 of the manual section Submitting Patches [0]: ------ 300 dependent packages or less master branch (non-disruptive changes). between 300 and 1,200 dependent packages staging branch (non-disruptive changes). This branch is intended to be merged in master every 3 weeks or so. Topical changes (e.g., an update of the GNOME stack) can instead go to a specific branch (say, gnome-updates). more than 1,200 dependent packages core-updates branch (may include major and potentially disruptive changes). This branch is intended to be merged in master every 2.5 months or so. ------ These are rough heuristics that help us manage big changes effectively.
