What is the expected savinsg in time for builds? I realise it is hard to measure, however it should only be a second or two per build at most. Buildroot creation time is really not the slowest piece of the pipeline. There is a lot of other areas that I feel would net a bigger win. For instance machine learning bots to do package reviews and package maintainenece, where changes like this could be automatically built in to the package maintainece lifecycle. Dennsi
