Enable optimizations by default
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request (2018) to make snapcraft plugins consistently enable optimizations by default, or at least document each plugin's default optimization behavior. No maintainer response; plugins have since been refactored into craft-parts.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is from 2018 with zero comments and no maintainer acknowledgement, so it has never been triaged. The underlying concern (inconsistent optimization defaults across plugins) is still partially valid: the current craft-parts cmake and meson plugins do not set a default build type, so users still must pass -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE or -Dbuildtype themselves. However, the plugin architecture has been substantially reworked since the issue was filed, so a maintainer should reassess whether the request is still applicable before acting.
