[ A change as significant as this should not be debated in a thread with

Nonsense. The buildfarm will simply get slower, and at least for my
animals it's too damn slow already. We could fix that by having the
buildfarm script automatically add --disable-depend; but if we're going
to change this, we should roll out that script update BEFORE we change
it, not after.
