I've been thinking about this a bit and at least at the high level there 
is an argument for making it easy to opt out of a big class of host 
tools, on a modern distro and trade reprodicibility / reliability for 
faster initial build times.  And on the flip side, opt out of a bit more 
of our host tool dependencies.
