We could at least enable that on x86/amd64 dev profiles (since only devs are |
| 15 |
supposed to use them and they are the most used arches among us) just to get some more |
| 16 |
feedback and fix the packages before they reach the end users. This will |
| 17 |
reduce the bug # and make sure that --as-needed is respected in a broader |
| 18 |
range of packages |
