How do they know that? Things show up in surprising places, and we
don't always know why it is that an app is failing.

I never said whether I support it or not. I was annoyed that you were
making specious arguments. You're doing it again, by assuming I have
a particular position. I'm saying, it's worth listening to Jacek's
(and now Alexandre's) positions.
