I originally added a mention of #49004 but I think it's probably not worth announcing as part of the rollout as its impact on developer flow is actually very minuscule.

@jkoritzinsky @trylek Did one of these changes make is so the native code PDBs are no longer copied to (for example) artifacts\bin\coreclr\windows.x64.Checked\PDB? There are managed code PDBs still there (e.g., crossgen2.pdb, R2RDump.pdb).

I notice there are still references to these things in RunTimeArtifactsExcludeFiles tags in src\tests\Common\Directory.Build.targets, that seem to indicate not having them there might prevent us from getting good core dumps in Helix runs.
