While I wholeheartedly agree, it's not so easy to enforce compile time decisions at runtime. In the past, I have debugged and reported issues where Linux distributions do not enforce the above. We do have the typical Linux distribution model (where we have dozens upon distros) and other distribution models. IMHO checking each instance and combination doesn't scale. We could bring awareness to the issue in say distribution/workflow X, which sadly may come as finger-pointing and thus alienating. Hope that makes sense and the team is willing to consider the extra 90 lines worth of code.
