What's the distinction between a release and debug build in this case?
>From the point of view of the federated build and the classlib build,

One concern is the loss of line numbers from stack information; is
that lost too? My other thought is that ALL of our builds are still
"debug", including our milestones. That may just be my opinion though.
I'm not too worried about, just weighing in.
