Perhaps I'm being to anal about it, but I see little to no value in building binaries, testing them, then wiping them and building new binaries. IOW, it doesn't test anything other than the _possibility_ that the next binaries _might_ be good because the first ones were good. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
