I do.  (Not that I have a vote, but I think there is some value in
binary tools, which fail hard when things go wrong).  Also possibly
relevant is the fact that some of my systems use the current interface,
in order to break early when something regresses; it may not be the best
interface, nor expose the most information possible, but it's used: so
please don't change the interface incompatibly.

In particular, I think that your characterization of failurep from
compile-file being treated as a failure as "obtusive" is not helpful.
