There's a problem with stripping stuff needed for build - that "problem"
is the AUR.  Someone may never expect to need to compile, but then
suddenly they realize this really neat or critical app is only
available in the AUR - what happens when they set their option to strip
away all these files?  How do they get them back?  This seems like it
could be a big hassle.
