In software development and in web sites with software in them, there might
be intermediate derived products that are then flushed. However, in order to
gurantee rebuildability an audit trail of the intermediate derived products
might also have to be kept.

Also, again in software development, the word 'source' actually should be
more general concept than 'source code'. This is because in software builds,
binaries are reused to create new releases. This is even more true in
systems such as Java (EJB, etc.) where one is assembling software systems
from previously built components.
