These people probably don't want to figure out how to install libedit, or how to disable it, but if the default config "just works" for them, they'd be happy to build lldb and make sure their patch doesn't break it. Optimizing for this experience may be even more important than core lldb developers, since there's fewer of the latter and they usually just configure lldb once.


I want to seconded this, as someone who supports expression parsing which is depends on clang components which may be under active development such as `ASTImporter` having them being able to build lldb w/o a hassle is an important consideration if we want to them to be proactive and run the lldb test suite etc...
