 I can only speak for x86 team where it is mandatory for arch testers
and devs.  As far as I can tell other architecture teams handle it the
same.  Jakub already pointed out that many have very minimal chroots
for stabling, while my chroot is cluttered with 1500 packages which
should detect a lot of collisions.
 Just out of interest: How many file-collisions are filed per-week?
