The point is, that doesn't reliably happen currently. You should
just use mach
build binaries, which will, reliably, and even better, only if needed.
|mach build binaries| is much slower for me than the present behavior,
because I often hack on header files that are included all over the
tree, but whose #include-ers generally don't need to be rebuilt all of
the time.
I have the exact same use case as Bobby and as such object to removing
this feature. Especially since it is unclear what we gain from removing it.
