Comment (by intrigeri):

 Replying to [comment:6 gk]:
 > So, how about scoping that feature to only release builds? Or if that's
 really necessary to alpha builds in addition to that?

 As far as I'm concerned, I think it's totally fine to start with release
 builds only: it'll give us the expected benefits in the cases when it
 matters most.

 Then we'll see how much we miss it in the rarer cases when we include an
 alpha, and we can get back to you if needed; meanwhile you'll also have
 data/feelings about the cost of this extra tarball on your side. So I
 prefer postponing this discussion about alphas to a time when we'll have
 less hypothetical info to reason about :)

 Should I try to update the patch to only trigger on release builds? Or is
 it cheaper for you to do it yourself than to review an untested fixup
 patch from me?
