Ok, I see now. The problem I have with the reasoning we used during
this discussion is that we only thought of those "global"
target-finalize tasks. But there are also plenty of more
package-specific ones, such as cleaning up unneeded Python things, or
unneeded Perl things. A hook mechanism would allow to move these
individual bits of logic down to the package needing them.

It's true that I admit it would be less easy to read and understand
that a complete list of all target-finalize tasks. So if Peter and
Arnout prefer the explicit list, I'm fine.
