We probably should make setjmp()-freeness a requirement for

Would it be worth the effort, and how feasible is it anyway?
setjmp and longjmp are tools, that one may use in a good or bad way.
Along the same lines one could argue for dropping programs that use goto
in Fedora (because everyone knows that goto is bad).
That would mean dropping the kernel, for one... :-)
To the point, if a program uses setjmp and longjmp it is often that
there was no other way to do it. You cannot for example have a
co-routine/fiber implementation in C without setjmp() and longjmp().
