> So the compiled result is not worth archiving.

it has been more than once that in tracking down a problem, i've
found that the "known working" executable worked but the source
from that point in history didn't.  and vice versa.  having the executables
and libraries archived was very valuable.

otoh, just to use round numbers, if your build creates 100mb of new data
and all of it hits venti before being replaced, then you've got 10000
builds/TB.  in practice, i think most people push to venti only once
a day, so this is practically infinite.  or, put another way, that's
$100/10000 = 1¢/build.  since the standard depricated comment is
worth 2¢, it appears that these days 100mb is not worth commenting
on.  ☺.
