If the name was chosen appropriately, we could also apply it to the binary build process on Windows, so it too would fail if it was trying to build an "official" or "preferred" or whatever configuration and certain modules couldn't be located (either due to a build failure, or failure to install the package, or any other reason.)  I like the idea of less scope for human error in these important processes...
