Let me emphasize "Any commit that [..] touches: infrastructural changes, commits to ports with unusually high number of dependencies and any other commit that requires the rebuilding of many packages" The reason is very simple: we try to have release packages as up-to-date as possible, and as much tested as possible. Keep in mind that it takes time and effort to package 20K+ ports. Please!
