ok, fine with me. The benefits of the packing lists are:
- ensure repeatable builds on various OS and with various sets of
installed things
- be able to check that upstream changes are intended
More than 90% of the time I ask, it's intended. But not always.

I see, and that's ok. Maybe sunset pre-3.0 support? But I suspect
there's a long tail of not-ugpraded systems.

Correct, I don't. There is something about standardizer that is
required that I'm not sure about, and I force it off so that I get
repeatable builds (specifically, my system vs a system where *only* the
packages that are declared as dependencies are installed). I should
look at this again; the ball is in my court for sure.
I'm also not sure about sfcgal. I may have to package that first.
Again ball in my court.
