Comment:

 Thanks. One thing I think we should keep are notes about which parts of
 our toolchains (and our other artifacts even if they are not exposed in
 the sha256sums.txt) are still not reproducible. This might make debugging
 issues in the future easier and leaves the ToDos obvious. Parts of the
 comment in the Windows gitian-utils descriptor could be resurrected for
 that. I know GCC is affected, too, and I bet clang as well.
