You're assuming that this patch is UK specific and doesn't break any
laws, granted it probably is at the moment but that's still a big
assumption. This really isn't the sort of issue anybody wants myth
associated with or an area where it's sensible to be flying close to
the wire.

Plus, the correct way to implement the 'xtraview patch' functionality
is via manual editing of PIDs by the user. That way it's the user
that's potentially breaking laws and not the software!
