I'm not sure this issue is related to the current discussion, as he is upset with distributions packaging old software with new one, something never done in Arch as far as I know:
I hate having to add silly work-arounds in the code to accommodate distributions trying to use an older SQLite with a newer Fossil.
yes, it's a diff issue, but shows how upstream & packagers have a diff angle of view onto the subject.
IMHO you're just about to open a can of worms that only you yourself will want to swallow, for a) the greater good of squishing bugs and b) no change in the big picture.
There is nothing to "swallow" here as there already is an option to bypass parallel build. I'm not opening anything either as I'm just not against the proposed change. It looks like a convenience change, which does not really have arguments against it as it's just a default setting.
hmm. As I said, I brought up my part, may the powers that be act wisely. Regards, -Martin
