In non-distributed build, not selecting a build environment means it will use the "default" environment, whatever Continuum is running in. That doesn't seem to make sense in a distributed environment, since nothing builds on the master where you are pressing the buttons. Therefore, I think selection of a build environment should be mandatory in distributed builds. Any arguments to the contrary?
