The thing is, it's just a proposal to change default behavior, which would be something inbetween of current feature-full make and `make light` (which already exists and cuts everything possible).
For experienced developers it doesn't matter to use `make release` instead of `make` (they're wrapping all this steps into a script most of the time anyway). For new developers just be able to type `make` and have working blender without need to struggle with weirdo dependencies is what's this proposal is about.
