If there's a malfunctioning script in /somewhere that I can insert
exit 0 ;
or
import sys ; sys.exit( 0 )
at the top, then as a user/admin I can sidestep the installation
error. If the logic is tucked away in the bowels of some other
program, it isn't as trivial to hack around.
(I don't have a position on this issue, though, I'm just sorta lurking
on the discussions)
