> This is fundamentally the same exact underlying reason why we have build servers instead of just builds from developer work stations. Developer workstations are not controlled environments, which means the builds are not guaranteed repeatable. A side note, if your build depends on the box it's being built on, your build process is bad. The build from any dev workstation should be identical to any other build. People have build boxes to automate building/deployment and testing and alerting people things broke; they aren't about dependency management. If you're using a build box because of dependency management issues with dev workstations, you're doing it wrong.
