Little bump ... think it is a lightweight change but nifty cleanup feature
I bump this again ...
I still use this feature at least once a month ... it is super useful to avoid rebuilding a lot of modules (which eg have dependencies to modules you are changing). For now your only way to enforce recompiling some modules is to do a manual "rebuild" of these modules. But this requires you to know which module is affected.
With the "resetmods" parameter I simply clean "brl" or all or whatever modules I think are affected. When then doing a build bmk will autocompile all required modules. Which most of the time is way less than "rebuilding everything" (rebuild modules).
Also "resetmods" helps to shrink package size when transporting a specific "setup" to a new OS (eg copy your "mods folder" from Linux to Windows - no need to copy the linux prebuilds).
