We have the username in the default $OPT string for personal builds, so the HOTSPOT_BUILD_USER is just redundant information. There is no reason to have the build user recorded in non personal builds.

Thanks Erik. I'll leave this open a little longer for others to comment, but I also can't see a reason why this would be needed, especially in non-personal builds.
