One use case we are interested in is to make a copy of all packages in an entire project (without rebuilding) then we upgrade one or more packages in the new copy and allow it and any affected packages to rebuild. Then we run QA on the new project. If QA succeeds we delete the original project and we now have a new one. If QA fails we delete the old project. The final setup will be a little more complex and uses linked projects too - but that gives you an idea. This: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Process#New_process_2 isn't really clear unless you've followed some irc discussions so we'll document it more completely as we go.
