Wouldn't that mean that every checkout on such a machine fails, because simfactory would unconditionally add these thorns to the thornlist, regardless of whether they are actually present or not?
Replying to myself: Is this really what Simfactory does - or does it only "enable" these thorns when they are present in the thornlist, but commented out? If the latter is the case I think it should be fine, although it might still confuse people that don't even look at the simfactory configuration of the machine, and use a thornlist with such a thorn commented out, but not present. Could we somehow let these users give a hint why Cactus fails with 'thorn not found', when the original thornlist clearly commented it out?
