[00:10:16] <RoanKattouw>	 Krinkle: The minifier is pretty dumb, but I think tracking braces as you said shouldn't be too hard
[00:11:19] <RoanKattouw>	 Alternatively, you could annotate the if statements with comments, and have PHP find them that way
[00:12:09] <RoanKattouw>	 e.g.   if ( mw.debug ) { // #MW-DEBUG-STRIP-START  
[00:12:15] <RoanKattouw>	 } // #MW-DEBUG-STRIP-END
[00:13:06] <RoanKattouw>	 The PHP code would then find those start/end comments and 1) in non-debug mode, strip those lines themselves and everything in between; 2) in non-debug mode, strip the start and end lines themselves but not the lines in between
[23:14:33] <Krinkle>	 TimStarling: I was wrong about the 5-50ms, that applies to individual module batches. the startup module is above average, e.g. 5ms for https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/000000067/resourceloader-module-builds?orgId=1&var-module=skins_vector_styles_legacy vs  100-300ms for https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/000000067/resourceloader-module-builds?orgId=1&var-module=startup
