Candy: you're correct that there was some kind of issue with the F28 mass rebuild which meant some of the builds weren't actually run - the spec bump was committed to git, but for some reason the build was never sent to Koji.
You're going a bit far in talking about "right" and "wrong" builds, though, really. The truth is, fundamentally the important thing for the release is, does it work? If the packages that didn't get rebuilt still work fine...this isn't a critical problem. There'll be another mass rebuild in future anyway. For some releases we don't do a mass rebuild at all. It's not a critical part of the process without which we can't possibly ship a release.
We hold up Beta releases if they don't meet the quality requirements for a Beta release. We don't hold them up just because some packages which were intended to be rebuilt didn't get rebuilt (but otherwise work fine).
