Obviously (or at least I thought it was obvious from my
post), the kind of programs I am talking about are not
about to be run with a completely system dependent
undefined dispatching policy (if they do this they are
of course completely system dependent, and not even
vaguely portable).

So I am of course assuming that you include the
appropriate Dispatching_Policy pragma.

A program that depends on the dispatching policy and
does not specify the policy is a very dubious program!

Of course most programs do NOT depend on the dispatching
policy and that is just fine.
