Precisely. And that's the sort of trade-off that Ralf was asking to be clarified. Here, the trade off is that if we *are* allowed to rely on the fact that name/version uniquely identifies the build, then we can optimise build times via wheel cacheing. If we can't make that assumption, we can't do the optimisation. The request here seems to be that we provide the best of both worlds - provide optimal builds *without* making the assumptions we use for the "install a released version" case.
