Yes, because it *works*.

I can't overestimate the time the auto* guys saved me in porting
the distribution to the Hurd. And it is not "making the best as bad
as the worst". It is feature based, so on systems that support features,
you can enable them.

It's just: Don't demand the same behaviour from all.
