The local or scratch build is just a wasted build, then I have to redo the 
build as an official build, so I have to do an extra build for no reason. If 
I do all the builds as official and stick with the one that builds, that 
saves the final extra build.

Why? It saves a build that'd otherwise be wasted, saving my time. It also 
doesn't preclude downloading and testing the output once it builds.
