Maybe also mention:
- EB_PYTHON_PREFIX
- reproducible tarballs from git repos
- granular exit codes

I consider granular exit code too much of a detail here.
What should I mention exactly on EB_PYTHON_PREFIX, is that really relevant here?
This is by no means meant to be a complete overview.
I will include an extra bullet on the reproducible tarballs though

That seems difficult to explain in a one-liner to me, we'll need a dedicated section in the documentation on that?
