People miss things, maintainers get busy, so while a CC: is important
and appreciated, it doesn't ensure a correct implementation is likely
to result.

Personally, I'd much rather my arch stop building so I have to go in
there to explicitly look at the reason why and make sure I fill in the
missing pieces properly and accurately.
