Comment (by hinder):
"other codes" would be Cactus codes, e.g. Whisky or the Zelmani GRHydro branch. New users might be compiling Cactus for the first time with these codes included in the thornlist, and they wouldn't have the required HDF5 support in their system libraries. I agree with what you say about it being a pain to have to build HDF5 each time. It would be good to have a workaround for that.
