Russel, thanks. That's interesting.
The practical issue is "how not to forget over time". A test in a
test suite, or a hook in a setup /release script which walks the files
and warns you would be very useful for anyone who has to do this. We
used to have a subversion commit hook once upon a time, but DVCS made
it trickier.
