If so, I wouldn't have bothered with the small effort to do it.

Why?  Anyway, they don't generally.  If you say people should use a JSV
and ignore the trivial configuration, how about supplying it?  We have
wildcarded MPI PEs covering nodes with 4-16 cores, or possibly running
on single nodes with 48 or 64 cores; others have Altix or Scalemp-type
systems.

They can (and do) just ignore it.

Whatever, but it won't help the OP.
