Anybody can share binary packages that they build off of AUR
buildscripts -- that is exactly what we allow by making these flags
the default.

With local optimization, users end up spending time rebuilding. You
may build a bunch of packages and decide to share them from a repo, or
you may want help from somebody else with runtime problems that you're
having.

There is no statistical backing here AFAIK, so if you feel strongly
about it, you are welcome to approach the pacman developers in order
to reach a new conclusion.
