Yes, it changes bundling, which in turn changes the code. It may be a
subtle change, but it can affect whether bugs are reproducible.
I suspect we're saying the same thing, but want to make sure.
A problem is that if you view each debugging label as forcing a new
bundle, it changes the executable code. I agree with that and see it
as a major problem in the present approach with IAS.
