This seems a bit... inflexible. I definitely understand the arguments for not breaking builds and for reducing administrative overhead and such, but not every bit of secret data can be revoked like a key/credential can. What if you accidentally include user data, or proprietary business-logic code, or...? (Yes, with proper data hygiene and processes you'd never even come close to doing any of that, but it seems there should still be an escape hatch.)
