Not really, you'd have to keep your sstate-cache but my guess is that
your builds are infrequent enough that everything will rebuild anyway.

This made me try to understand why you didn't test your patches and I
didn't realize you are maintaining iputils. Thanks for the help!

The whole bb.utils.contains call can be removed because it doesn't do
anything once you remove the 'ninfod' argument.

I'll send the patch to our CI with the line removed
