   another explanation to this case: if you find in output something that will 
have to be extracted from reference output to reproduce the exact build, you 
need to question
   "why did I store this data in output initially?"
   
   if it's "just because it was free, then why not: the more data, the better 
tracking": this approach is very good, or more exactly "was", I did it in the 
past (storing username and hostname from the builder, for example: who did that 
build and where?).
   But this approach is an approach from "before Reproducible Builds", when 
output binaries were just opaque boxes where we were trying to inject human 
data to have a chance to know what is in the jar that we found on a filesystem 
anywhere, and we don't want to trust just the file name to guess what is really 
contains.
   
   With Reproducible Builds, tracking strategy has completely changed: now, we 
check the binary content "is it the expected content?"
   environment-specific markers that we put in the past to try to track are now 
noise that make our Reproducible Builds life harder
