also, a build will get outdated pretty soon anyway... what would be the
benefit of a 2 month old build today with 4000 extra commits on master?

A first committer would most likely push a small patch to gerrit -- where most
of those can be easily rebased. We are talking about the first onboarding task,
someone using this wont start out with rewriting the Writer core, rather e.g.
covert one dialog to new style UI. This would work perfectly for those guys.

That said, yes, this would need to be updated and rebuild regularly (e.g. once
a month) in an automated way.

on the other hand, if the newbies do the build themselves they will get
a sense of having achieved something.  which we can of course help by
only releasing image with a git repo at a revision that does in fact
build ;)
