I expect this set changes slightly between versions?

I'm fine with the MC checking that the CM is sane (assuming it's not 
expensive, which might depend on the CM). It's just that a defensively 
programmed application shouldn't rely on that check.

Well, yeah. Probably not that unusual, though, if you're hard-coding stuff to 
consider the stuff you hard-code to be well-known (at least to yourself).
