"Partial builds" is good and so is most of the rewording :+1: 

Couple of terminology nits though:

"build through an intermediate stage of the build" seems quite ambiguous/unclear as to what "build through" means. At least to me, it does not carry the implication of building all the preceding stages *and* the specified stage. Maybe just be explicit about what happens?

The term "final packages" I'm not so happy about, because it sounds much too ... final :smile: The build might be just some local developer test-build, and calling that "final" seems strange. Maybe just "RPM packages" or "RPM package files"? (the same "final packages" term repeats in a couple of other places as well)
