If they're going to change with every build release, then it's even MORE important to make sure they're in some kind of source repository. Otherwise, the whole point of keeping it in a source-code control repository (rollbacks, check out to a label, and so on) goes completely out the window when I can't get the corresponding binary plugs.
I can't be the only one who grew up under the rule of source control that states, "Everything necessary to create a build must be stored in the source repository", can I?
