It's explained in the commit message for patch 2:

  Building projects is entirely controlled by Jenkins in a production
  environment, but it can be useful to trigger builds via Ansible
  during development to figure out build dependencies and for sanity
  checking purposes.

I'm not adamant on keeping this around, as it was mainly a tool
for me to use during development, but I figure it might come in
handy later on when some project picks up new (optional) build
dependencies or we need to add a new project, and I'd rather not
have to reinvent the wheel when that happens.

Note that none of those tasks is executed unless you manually set
the 'build' variable to true, so they will not interfere in any
way with regular CI usage.
