to override a default, though, not taking away their ability to
function.
And, we can leave OS/version/platform combinations at g95, when we know
that's better.

Is this a theoretical concern, or an actual known problem?
This was raised as a reason not to default to gfortran years ago, but it's only theoretical AFAIK at this point.  gfortran works well on all the platforms I use.
