David and I discussed this in the past.  In the end we agreed that it was
probably more trouble than it was worth given that most distributions are
apparently fine with what we have.  However, we could always revisit this if
the situation has changed.

I don't recall the details off-hand, but I recollect that some difficulties
were identified with this approach when discussed in the past.

I've already followed up on list.  I am curious to know whether David has
encountered a problem with that line.  The applicable line hasn't been
reported to cause others any difficulties until now, and according to the
scons documentation it is valid (and even necessary).

What version of scons are you using?  David has identified a number of bugs
in scons versions earlier than 3.1 when running under python3.
