Well put.  Contrary to Mr. Foner, that's also my recollection of how the
conversation petered out a few months ago.

The source code -- at least, all of the .c files -- should only use
feature tests, not platform tests.  That is, not
        #ifdef ULTRIX_BRAIN_DEATH
but
        #ifdef NO_ARGLIST_IN_STRUCT_FUNCS

It is quite difficult to do this, however, with the current
config-a-tron system.  I don't think anyone except on the core team can
do it (I can't imagine doing it without commit access, and you can be
sure *some* platforms will break, or more likely be sub-optimal).
