Fair enough. I just wanted to make the build-system table to be more visible to end users, since I feel the cost here is justified by the benefit s . If others don't agree, that's cool. I don't feel super strongly about this tbh . I am not opposed to keeping the status quo on this matter and am on board with Paul's suggestion of making the build-system table optional. :) Pradyun
