In bug 1352477, I introduced a clumsy filter[1], which helped maintaining the parity of generated tasks. Like aki suggested[1], it's probably better to rely on the nightly attribute, instead. [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1352477#c6

Please also don't use substring matching on labels.

Diffing the output of `mach taskgraph tasks` before and after this patch shows that the only difference is the removal of the build-android-api-16/opt-upload-symbols, build-linux64/debug-upload-symbols, and build-linux64/opt-upload-symbols tasks (the non-nightly build types that were listed), which were being filtered out by `filter_upload_symbols` anyway: https://gist.github.com/luser/e67d5fc38df32a664fad06d42b4eed8c I went one step further and used aki's taskgraph-diff scripts (https://hg.mozilla.org/build/braindump/file/default/taskcluster/taskgraph-diff/) to diff the generated task graph from parameters.yml files from an arbitrary inbound push, a central desktop nightly cron, a central nightly android cron, an arbitrary beta push and an arbitrary release push. The only differences that showed up there were that these non-nightly symbol upload tasks were actually being scheduled on beta/release due to the logic in `filter_upload_symbols`, so this patch fixes that. (Example: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-release&selectedJob=170365091 ) I don't think those were ever actually intended to run, and we are running symbol-upload tasks for the actual "nightly" build types on beta/release (Example: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-release&filter-searchStr=nightly&selectedJob=170372847 ).
