If you want to drive adoption, or even think about making this mandatory at build time, then at the very least you need to make sure the devkits produced by the makefiles under `make/devkit/...` contain the necessary build time dependencies and generally work with this feature. At least at Oracle we rely on these for our builds and my impression is that at least some other vendors do too.
