It's not a question of legislating; it's more a question of picking a
good option and writing the specification in policy.
I would actually like to be able to specify 'make -jX' instead of just
'make' in a build. Currently, that's not possible. The absence of common

not what I'm trying to avoid in the future (though that is, of course,
an interesting byproduct
