Dumb question: Just what do you guys mean by "shipping"? Don't we just post the
files on the Internet and let users download them?
In that case, I would think that the only drawbacks to our providing both
versions (debug or not) would be disk space at GNU (and other sites for
downloading) and preparation time for Emacs developers (twice the work, whatever
it might be).
Users could themselves decide whether they want to pay the penalties of
additional local disk space and increased download time (and build time?).
What am I missing wrt "shipping"?
