Yeah, I think it's important to clarify that nobody is "using 
non-Unified-Source building for their development", at least to my knowledge. 
Being broken by the shifting sands of unified sources is an everybody problem 
(or at the very least an "everybody that builds via CMake problem", which is 
ultimately an everybody problem).

Subject: Re: [webkit-dev] New EWS Non-Unified builder

I don’t see the goal as “keep non-Unified-Source building” but rather “prevent 
unrelated build fixes when we add another file later”.  Right now when we add a 
new file we often have to sprinkle includes, declarations, and other build 
fixes in files unrelated to the current change.  If we had a bot building 
without unification we would be informed at the time we write the problematic 
code.
