Am I wrong assuming that it would be rather easy to add the BR to all
packages semi-automatically previous to a mass rebuild so that people
who want to get rid of gcc for their packages can easily remove it?
What am I missing?
What is missing is there is no quantifcation yet of the benefit.
How much faster will builds be? Versus how long will it take to
either modify all these packages / write and run the script to do
that? Is A > B?
