I'd like to point out that the situation with frequent updates of
Emacs that require recompilation of *.eln files is peculiar to Emacs
development on the master branch, and will generally rare if ever
happen for "normal" users, and even for us developers on the release
branch.

Like I said before, the pattern of JIT compilation in "normal" usage
is that it happens for a few minutes after installing a new version of
Emacs, and thereafter happens only rarely.

I think NATIVE_FULL_AOT takes more time, because it compiles much more
than an average user will ever use.  (But I don't object to supporting
such a build for people who want it.)
