Build tree pruning is to discard the output when it is the same and thus not trigger such rebuilds on packages that build depend on the discarded output. Normally this works, but if a build e.g. embeds <span class="sb" style="color: #d14;">`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`</span> in its output, then the output changes every time such a rebuild happens, which can be very often. This is to be avoided as updating packages without necessity is too expensive. (The correct solution would, of course, be to never embed <span class="sb" style="color: #d14;">`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`</span> as so far, no use-case was found were something else is not better, like instead embed a major version number. However convincing everyone and changing every instance of this is an impractical task.)</span>
