Having opinions != removing choices

One can have an opinionated, canonical build system and still allow unorthodox things.

The strong the opinion the harder the unorthodox things are. The weaker the opinion the harder it is for newbies to get going. There is a trade off here.

Seems to me that deep configuration capabilities combined with opinionated defaults address the tradeoff.
