If it's harder to debug (e.g., if there are problems to get a meaningful backtrace from a core file of a crashed Emacs), then I'd actually urge package maintainers _not_ to use this while preparing binary distros, because that would make our lives as Emacs maintainers harder when a user reports a crash.
