just a belated 'wow' on this. I've seen
http://rb.zq1.de/compare.factory-20190228/rbstats.txt which AFAICS are
the latest results, which are: 

total-packages: 11405
build-tried: 11405
build-compare-succeeded: 10930
bit-by-bit-identical: 10652
verified-semi-reproducible: 9106
verified-bit-identical: 0
not-bit-by-bit-identical: 569
not-bit-by-bit-identicalcheck: 565

what's the difference between bit-by-bit-identical and
verified-semi-reproducible and verified-bit-identical?
