I apologize for following up to my own response but I forgot one important one: 4) It makes troubleshooting "more exciting". Does user A's SSL not work while user B's works OK? What if user A is using -i386 while user B is using -tsc586 and the package maintainer is using -k6? Some individuals don't consider this a problem, some consider this a crisis.
