I'm not saying that this feature is not necessary. Only that what is
proposed will hit us hardly very soon after we have released it. And
we will have to live and hack with it for a long time. That's a price
I don't want to pay.

All I'm saying is to actually sit down and think about what we are
doing instead of running into the 1st solution, as easy as it could
be.

Cheers,
