This I find easy to see, at least if we are talking of the general case: If I have my system set up to support XS then I want it to use XS, and if for some reason it can’t, then there is a bug somewhere that needs to be fixed, so I do *not* want it to silently give me the PP version and carry on, but to fall down and die screaming so I’ll find out. However, I am unsure of the context of the discussion. The above reasoning is applicable and important mostly when it comes to production deployments: I never want my servers trying to limp on with a CPU- and/or memory-hungry setup that will only reveal itself as such in monitoring data. But maybe the discussion is about some other scenario in which the given reasoning is inapplicable? Since I don’t know, the above use case may be neither here nor there.
