        I'm not advocating for this as a standard of
  course.  The maintainer of the build should decide
  according  to their  judgment.  Some  software has
  ridiculous build times  without parallelization by
  default,  and  their official  build  instructions
  recommend using  multiple jobs.  In such  cases, I
  see no reason to  prevent maintainers from setting
  some reasonable  defaults, as  long as  they don't
  clobber or override custom user $MAKEFLAGS.
