Remote debugging - expected behavior

[Mike Kerner]

Then why not remove remote debugger from the (cluttered) inclusions list
and only include it if the developer chooses 'test' (similar to what Monte
was wondering in that QR).  It seems weird and unnecessary, and
possibly insecure to do it otherwise (insecure because if you forget to
remove it from the inclusions when you build, your app is open to
being remote debugged by someone who is not authorized).  I ask here,
rather than adding to that QR or starting a new one, so we can discuss it
before I propose it.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
