Ok, how about the non-mythical minority of us that sometimes like 
srcdir=builddir?

I don't like the idea of certain developers (we can call them a "majority") 
making decisions for the rest of us that doesn't really affect said majority. 
If you don't like it, don't do it, and definitely don't decide for me.

Ok, let's remove that check from kdelibs then.

Have a nice day,
