Darryl L. Miles commented on CB-7981:
-------------------------------------

Further more to this... the 'server' appears to prepare all platforms, it does not take any argument to limit the platform to work with.

This is also extra work, since it is usual to only be working with one platform at a time, so to speed up write/build/test all this extra work it cutting into developer time.

> Often during automated building we have already just done a "prepare" and/or "build", then some other tasks, then we wish to "serve" (like for development with LiveReload etc...)
> So either:
> * those tasks (prepare/build) need to support incremental building, meaning running it again a 2nd time in a row would find no new work to do and therefore complete the task quickly.
> Or
> * the "serve" command needs a "-- no-prepare" and/or "--no-build" option to allow those phases to be inhibited, because the user knows better.
