Hi
It seems that the original purpose has been lost and that with
milestones becoming less significant, it needs restoring.
My understanding is that N-builds are regular, typically nightly,
builds of the state of the art and that I-builds are an
intermediate/interim/integration state for some significant
advance. Since I-builds are occasional and significant they
deserve to be kept till the next milestone.
The platform seems to be using I-builds for the traditional
purpose of N-builds but persisting as for I-builds. Integrators
are forced to download far too often.

Hi folk,
(resending to hopefully more appropriate list?)
I was wondering why the
I-builds (likewise
for older versions) contain multiple builds in them and
not just the latest?
What is the use case for a consumer wanting either a
mix of of I-build versions or not the latest one?
(PS I am asking, because I want to change CDT builds to
track I-builds now that Milestones are not really what
they used to be, and I am also just interested. A similar
question exists for me about the simrel release repos
containing multiple versions too, but that also seems less
important going forward as it is less likely to happen.)
Thanks,
Jonah
