Should have told the auditors that stripping symbols is stupid and counterproductive instead of playing along. That segfault a user managed to hit once and only once with their self-built binary, and that useless core file that was left behind, shall hunt you in your dreams forever.

And I love how that commit was merged with the comment "A further reduced binary size! ๐ŸŽ‰". Exhibit number #5464565465767 why caring that much about "dependency bloat" and binary sizes always was, and always will be, a result of collective mania in action.

but removing these symbols might make reverse engineering of the binary harder.

That's the dumbest reasoning ever.
