Perhaps I wasn’t clear - I meant that only the build machine (the 
builder employing WITH_META_MODE) should be upgraded infrequently. The 
operating systems on consumer machines can and should be reinstalled or 
upgraded as often as needed, without any restrictions. To fully utilize 
META_MODE, you should avoid frequent reinstalls or reissues of make 
install on the build machine.
