I think this is a useful aspect to Draco.NET. Currently, if we add files we know wont change the build (for example a Word document), we simply allow it to build regardless. The thought has always been, better to build than not to build given the non-discriminatory decision making by Draco.NET. I am sure there are occassions were discrimination might be warranted. One issue I have is that of the XML files become admin nightmares. Currently modifications to the config file arent supported at runtime, so this would need to be dealt with too.
