That's going to be a barrier for people. Can we be optimistic rather
than pessimistic, and change the build to use, in the absence of the
specific platform file, a "generic" or "base" exclude list?
(We talked about this a while ago, I think...)
Should probably be additive, too, rather than replace it.
Yes, that was what we had discussed before... a "common" file...
