In general we want to minimise the number of people who need to tweak
configuration parameters.  I have nothing against a module parameter
that selected a specific fallback.  However, if a large proportion of
people end up having to set the parameter once we get an assembly SHA
implementation (to either select it or deselect it) then we're doing
it wrong.
