Hi Richard, Since default policies are generally used by derived distros, changing this default may have broader impacts. I wonder if the Yocto autobuilder issues you mentioned are commonly seen by OE users, as this change will embed symbols into binaries that some users may not expect.
Additionally, there are alternatives that people might have already deployed. I would suggest seeking user feedback before enabling this by default in OE-core.
