It will be good thing. But I think that there must be kind of option to 
tell which exactly package force other to be rebuilt. I would like to be 
able to ignore situation where gcc packaging change introduce rebuild of 
everything. But if gcc change and gtk+ will be also changed then I want 
to do build which will rebuild all gtk+ dependend recipes.

Having option in local.conf probably will be easier for bitbake parser 
then providing list of recipes which force 'own childs' to be rebuilt.

I think that this is a place where we need some kind of UI which will be 
able to request action from us (but rather on start of build then during 
build - many of our builds goes without any interactive usage (nightly 
runs etc).
