I'm not suggesting forcibly disabling it, merely marking binary |
15 |
packages as "designed for distribution" or "not designed for |
16 |

requiring explicit user action to turn the latter into the former. |

The specific underlying question being, what are the use cases for |
20 |
binary packages? |
