Exactly, and before that, first figure
out what exactly that step does.

can safely drop those useless steps from Gerrit builds. They actually do
not create *useful* artifacts, only the build result matters, so as long
as API Tools don't automatically fail build in case of error, there is
no value in spending cycles doing it.
I would expect that if that step fails,
it will be reported to/by Gerrit, and even if the artifact isn't useful
at this point, it will be for the official, build and we want Gerrit to
find issues before the official build.

Hi,

Before we consider such optimization, it's first important
to measure whether it's worth the effort to do it. Do you have an estimation
of how much time we'd save by skipping that?
I agree we can safely drop those useless steps from Gerrit
builds. They actually do not create *useful* artifacts, only the build
result matters, so as long as API Tools don't automatically fail build
in case of error, there is no value in spending cycles doing it._______________________________________________
