I believe that he is talking about changing _when_ the check for
conflicts is made; whereas DISABLE_CONFLICTS ignores the check,
regardless of when it is made.  A late check is preferable to using
DISABLE_CONFLICTS, because with that knob you can shoot yourself in
the foot by mistakenly installing one port on top of another.
