Yes. Intentionally. They serve documentation purposes. Eg If a package builds often in parallel but not always you can document exactly that behaviour. Then users who run make -j4 once seeing it works will not set it to "always" for exactly that reason. Neither will they build it 10 times to see whether it is "often" rather than always. So its meant to prevent commit loops always -> never -> always ->never - "but for me it works" - "but for me it doesn't" Does knowing about the original purpose change your liking?
