Are Embedded Symbols better than Symbol Packages?

i recommend embedded symbols over a symbols package. embedded symbols are smaller than pdbs and give you stack traces in production

• Does embedded symbols make it easier for developers to use your package?
• Test how stack traces look for embedded-vs-not - is the difference helpful?
• MSDN says embedded symbols make NuGet packages larger - is that a problem?

There is already a large conversation about switching the default to embedded symbols in the .NET SDK. Worth using the details there to weigh in on the best option here.

Additionally there is a Microsoft blog post talking about Source Link and refers to embedded symbols too: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/producing-packages-with-source-link/
