I cannot quite tell from the report what "has changed" refers to, what failures "you cannot run" gets, and if that is a desirable thing to do (i.e. if letting the user run it in such a configuration would somehow break things, actively erroring out may be a deliberate change) or not (i.e. an unintended regression).
