The CI absolutists tend to yell "reproducible builds" at this point and argue that things should be built from scratch every time.

Well, yeah. Reproducible builds are valuable. If you don't think so, then have fun trying to rollback to a commit that can only be built by building a specific set of commits leading up to it in the right order.

Yeah - this stuff is why I advocate so hard for Bazel. It actually gets this shit right, unlike nearly everything else.
