their turf, and losing sight of the big picture.
I agree the discussion, if the feature should be as it is, went off, far
out off control. And I myself take a considerable share of the blame in
making it do so.....
The discussion was meant to be about, what can or should be done, in
addition to the feature. Accepting the feature itself as it is.
I think the finegrained detection option that Martin proposes has a bad
work vs occuarance tradeoff, but a global killswitch for this might be
enough.
I do agree. At least from the point of the developer(s) that have to
implement it. And I do accept that.
Never the mind, that does not mean that not from the users point of
view, it would be nice to have. not that it cannot be proposed.
