Thanks for posting that. I understand what they’re getting at, but they didn’t quite convince me in the opening that this isn’t a build structure problem vs. a build tool issue. There’s a lot of work to do what they’re trying to achieve, and at best you’ll possibly get a faster build? Maybe it’s easier to configure? Though that also wasn’t obvious to me that there would be a large gain there.
