Is there a reason Bitcoin is using boost debug libraries on windows?

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/makefile.mingw

Code:
BOOST_SUFFIX?=-mgw46-mt-sd-1_52

Linux makefile uses non debug libraries.

Non debug seems to work fine, too:
Code:
BOOST_SUFFIX?=-mgw46-mt-1_52
or
BOOST_SUFFIX?=-mgw46-mt-s-1_52

(These two libraries look identical to me.)

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

This got changed quite recently.
My guess is that someone was testing with debug libs and then forgot to put it back to non-debug, before committing. Or just overlooked it.

But this makefile is not used for the official (gitian) builds anyway.
Check out gocoin - my original project of full bitcoin node & cold wallet written in Go.

Still some people use it for their own windows builds.
