Olivier, Developers that do development on windows typically use the pre-built binaries. By building each day, the BaseTools source and BaseToosl binaries are very close to always being in sync. This should make it easier to report and root cause bugs against BaseTools independent of the use if BaseTools sources or BaseTools binaries. It also means that updates to BaseTools sources are used immediately by everyone using the trunk.

Subject: RE: [edk2-buildtools] [edk2][RFC] Proposal to retire edk2-buildtools sub-project It looks good to me. Except it seems to add a lot of complexity in term of infrastructure support to only pull off the Win32 BaseTools binaries. An easier approach would have been to only rebuild the Win32 BaseTools once in a while such as it is already done with the FatBinPkg/EdkShellBinPkg/ShellBinPkg.
