The reasons I used "must not" are simple: - makes the reader aware that this is of the most importance: if he breaks the build, his language can't be built or in other cases, the users of his language will lose data, - makes it clear for readers who are not confident with English: 'must' has no ambiguity, this is not the case for 'should' or 'have to'. With 'must', there is no question even if your English is not so good.
