Unfortunately, not all developers pay attention to assertion nowadays.
Means developers working on product builds might silently introduce
assertions which then annoy others working with the non-products.

So, if you strive for using non-product builds - and I'm constantly
lobbying for doing so, since experience tells that a certain class of
problems can be found much earlier, if you just believe the assertions
-, you should always have a "normal" build at hand, to verify the
assertions you see are not introduced by your changes.
