: What?

It increases the default security domain from /usr/include and
/usr/lib to also include /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include
silently.  Right now users must explicitly declare that they want to
link against this less secure domain by adding -I/usr/local/include
and -L/usr/lcoal/include to the build process.

Maybe this isn't a show stopper, but it is the sort of thing that
needs to be considered before we put a change like this into the tree.
I think that it is a sufficient reason to block the addition.
