You should just use mach build binaries, which will, reliably, and even better, only if needed. |mach build binaries| is much slower for me than the present behavior, because I often hack on header files that are included all over the tree, but whose #include-ers generally don't need to be rebuilt all of the time.
I have the exact same use case as Bobby and as such object to removing this feature. Especially since it is unclear what we gain from removing it.
