If you think that thorn OpenBLAS should use an installed, slow library
instead of building an efficient OpenBLAS, then we disagree very much on what this thorn should be doing.
I don't think <quote>that thorn OpenBLAS should use an installed, slow library instead of building an efficient OpenBLAS</quote>, in this we agree. But that means that if OpenBLAS rejects a working installed BLAS installation, it should do so on account of that being slow. We can either determine this somehow, and then reject a slow installation, or we cannot distinguish between a slow and a fast existing installation, in which case I believe we should choose the existing version.
