Comment (by kencu):

 Thanks.

 Trying to keep users happy by adding requested features can be tricky when
 they don't apply across the board. We try -- probably too hard. Homebrew
 just tells everyone they can't have anything universal. Solves that
 problem!

 I think the lesson here is to not make any variants default to on unless
 they can apply smoothly with all the other possible variants people might
 try to use, esp commoner ones like "universal". Otherwise this happens and
 people get confused by the "error", which is not really an "error", but a
 message telling you the variants conflict.

 Dumbing things down is often the best course. HB removed ALL variants from
 all formulae for this exact reason (as well as removing universal
 building). Keeps it simple.
