If you mean the --enable-release-build switch, that has been introduced to the 
master branch only.

Please note that we have never tested in practice full-scale what effect it has 
on our build. What if it has some unintended unexpected consequence, that 
didn't show up in OOo's "OOo-Dev' builds? For instance due to our multi-lingual 
installer mechanism. Then we would need to fix that, and probably yet another 
beta.

Also, I assume the plan is that beta4 will be ready by weekend. If we would 
cherry-pick the change that introduced that switch to the 3-4 branch now, the 
beta4 build would have to be restarted, and as it takes more or less a day 
especially for Windows, and the working hours are already over today, we would 
not have time to get a build before the weekend.
