I do have control: If femlisp or any other library makes a boneheaded decision that breaks my software, I can stop using it.
yes, resolving that is trivial -- once you have identified the problem.
regarding the recent discussions i'm generally baffled why it is at all a question whether to make a build software deterministic or not. in my view if there's anything in the global state that has an effect on the building of a software, anything, then it's a bug.
I think one question is whether it's worth taking a path to this goal that breaks programs that currently work. I don't think all such programs are bitrotted junk that can be fixed up in a day.
