Because you're nuts. :) Seriously, you will then have reports from lots of users - "this software doesn't build on Fedora! Fedora sucks, I'm using Ubuntu." Upstream maintainers who don't care about these things will just pile on, saying "Why use Fedora? This is just like gcc-2.96 all over again." If we want to have the foo-config scripts warn, sure. Possibly even patch our own Core & Extras packages. But randomly breaking third-party software so it won't build isn't really practical.
