My take would be to actually enforce that as a requirement for 14~ if
that works reliably, and of course not backpatch that change as that's
clearly an improvement and not a bug fix.  It would be good to check
the status of each buildfarm member first though.  And I would need to
also check my own stuff to begin with..
