My conclusion? For most binary packages, the time taken in the

packager should add !strip to their PKGBUILD.
Sound OK?

Why not set !strip automatically for arch=any packages?
That's magic and might cause confusion.
We have had this discussion previously. The main concern is that there
might be a valid case where an arch=any package wants to be stripped. I
can not think of one, but if it occurred it would then require manual
stripping. Adding !strip is easy enough to do.
