I believe the default build rules ought to be what is most correct, not what is mostly correct but fast, since the latter can lead to confusing errors for people who are not familiar with all the details. So I suggest that those of you who find configure too slow and who know what you are doing disable maintainer mode in your personal copies, rather than disabling it for everyone.
