08/25/2021, 3:01 PMIt addresses my two concerns!
1. It's no longer as easy to unintentionally use an advanced feature. You can only use pre-blessed ICs, and if you add a new one to pants.toml hopefully the right people will see it.
2. We can quickly determine if the repo is using >1 IC by looking at the option, rather than scanning the whole repo

08/25/2021, 7:07 PMNate solved this using macros but the only setting was ICs. How would this improve on just using macros?

08/25/2021, 7:59 PMMacros are valid too, but this is more first-class. It does the right thing by default, rather than requiring that you realize you should use a macro and then requiring that all your developers are disciplined in using that macro
(also unlocks some performance improvements in codebases using only a single interpreter constraint for whole project)
