Hi Cutter, You have indeed raised a valid question, hence, forwarding your mail to the LTP Mailing list. You can refer to this mailing list in future for any queries you might have. We would encourage more discussion on this before we finally decide. Meanwhile, you can also workout a patch and submit the same on the Mailing list. Let us include this if it satisfies your concern.
