Yes. If you have any questions about GAR you are welcome to post them  
here :-)

Absolutely. However, there are not all packages in GAR and
rebuilding all packages containing .la-files is a huge amount
of work. That's why we decided to remove them one by one.
Unfortunately, this means breaking other package builds who
rely on a full .la-chain. To solve this, the script fixes
these broken chains in the meantime. If you want the .la-files
removed on a specific package you are free to file a bug report.


Best regards
