Sure, those arguments make sense; faster builds for people who have a

I am not sure I'm convinced on this point. I think that the #if  
ENABLED in the header is pretty prominent, perhaps even more prominent  
than the one in the include list. It's useful to know when looking at  
a header that all this code is conditional.

I want the project to be consistent. I'm not passionately in favor of  
one approach over the other, but I dislike the mix of the two  
approaches.

I'd love to see a patch that moves us all the way in either one  
direction or the other.

This is not an urgent matter.
