If they present their case clearly, we might change our minds.  If
they don't present the case clearly, I don't see how we can provide a
solution, because disabling JIT compilation is already possible.  So
someone should explain why what is there is not good enough, and that
requires details.

There are several, actually, each one doing something slightly
different and disabling native compilation on a different level.
That's why I'm asking for details: we need to understand whether
something is missing and why.  For example, "disable native
compilation" may or may not be the same as "disable writing *.eln
files".
