You are completely correct; I didn't explain that well.  That's what I
meant by "the base system is not hidden by bl3" which is arguably a bug
(which may not be worth addressing).

(Given that it's been linked in all these years, I lean to just add the
bl3 unconditionally to make the dependency manifest and working on all
systems.)
