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.
