Well "tagging pre-releases more often" sounds a lot like "having the build system produce usable RPMs". It is one way forward I suggest and I think can be made workable.
It may be the simplest route for development is to keep things the way they are. However, that's the worst route for testing. I believe the lack of usable, accessible pre-release packages for testers has significantly decreased the participation in testing, which in turn has been a contributor to issues like we saw with 4.6.0.
