Not if you agree with the 1% figure.  There is no conceivable way in which one 
can interpret 1% as "very widely used".

This is boneheaded.  Please note that no one has suggested BREAKING the remote 
case.  The suggestion, rather, is to improve the 99% case at the expense of 
slightly reduced performance for the 1%.  That is an absolutely sensible and 
supportable tactic.

In Spock's words, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
