My conclusion? For most binary packages, the time taken in the stripping step is mainly used for the actual stripping of files and not testing which files to strip. I think this justifies removing the STRIP_DIRS variable from makepkg. For large architecture independent packages where the difference from this change is noticeable, 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. Allan
