That's a call you're qualified to make, but not everyone who builds
Emacs from bzr is, or will expect to have to. So, again, my opinion is
that if you find these delays annoying, you should
disable-maintainer-mode for your own use.
I agree that the term "maintainer-mode" is now confusing, and that it
would be good to either remove the option altogether, or rename
--disable-maintainer-mode to --enable-loose-dependency-checking or
somesuch. But such a change doesn't seem suitable for 24.1.
