16 Seriously Arfrever, drop the rhetoric here, and go fix the profile
17 compatibility issue. Everytime you bring up dot's in use, you ignore
18 compatibility, and every damn time it gets brought up I keep having
19 to repeat this. It's not productive and this has repeated for at
20 least a year now.

22 People who want this need to sort the compat issue rather than
23 sticking their heads in the sand.
