I like it. This seems like a reasonable way to address their concerns.
Another approach could be to have the maintaining SIG provide their
preferred default and in cases where none is provided, at least one
has to work. So maybe, e.g. Llama Spin doesn't care *which* web
browser works, but Alpaca Spin says Firefox has to work even if
another browser is functional.

This essentially lets us go with the original proposal as a default
case instead of having to go through and figure it out (because it may
change from release-to-release, so it has to be verified every cycle)
