True, but it sounds (nearly?) "useless" based on the description provided by the author:

> For example, one thing that was noted is that if we strip the debug symbols by default, then backtraces of release builds will... not contain any debug info, such as line numbers. That is indeed true, but my claim is that these have not been useful anyway. If you have a binary that only has debug symbols for the standard library, but not for your own code, then even though the backtrace will contain some line numbers from stdlib, it will not really give you any useful context [...]




That's true, which is why it's now being stripped.
