From personal experience with subtile breakage of makefiles, I strongly
disagree. Most packages are not j-save. The real problem is that
failures are not often enough not even visible -- showing up in
mysterious problems. They are also normally not reproducable. Both are
parameters I'd like to avoid having to deal with.
