What should not be ignored needs consideration. `---- Can we either change this to -vanilla, or else alias -vanilla to --pristine? I don't have a strong opinion about it, but we should have a way to turn off the X resources. Anyway, it isn't really worth discussing details of the feature unless someone wants to implement the feature.
