It's not rare for people to compare the size of the binaries to C and decide against using Rust for their use case due to it being very unfavourable. You shouldn't have to compile Rust again to disable debugging features useful only to the developers. This is only the runtime abort code, it's not the generic abort which isn't even a function call.

Runtime errors should report real errors, and logic errors should be dealt with by improving the code so redundant checks aren't necessary in the normal release builds. It can remain around in a build that's not for regular end users... the code paths calling this just need some work to remove the need for debugging stuff.
