I think Ludo is correct in this, an error message seems to be the only
option we have to ensure that maintainability and reproducibility are
respected. To add onto that, I was thinking that maybe it could be part
of the configuration process that we could modify to ensure that all of
the specified modules that are needed are available else it throws an
error?
