Comment:

 OK, so let's plan to roll this out per platform, carefully checking for
 any quirks of each platform as we do - otherwise we'll put this off
 forever while we worry about how it behaves on platforms we can't easily
 directly test on, whereas we can at least provide extra protection for
 some common platforms.  Based on the above, it looks like Linux and OS X
 could be in the first batch.
