Almost certainly just a normal part of the development process. Most likely, they try to create a 'stable' compile of the software every so often, and then updates to separate parts are tested with this. Every so often, they need to incorporate the changes into a new compile - the 'rebuild' that Oleg refers to. If you try to continually incorporate all changes into your development compile, you can end up with hard-to-track-down conflicts, problems with testing, and much else.

Of course, he could mean he's starting again from scratch.
