I've already seen I'm in a minority, by liking the current behaviour. |

Of course, and that also needs to be properly documented and planned, or we'll |

be facing the same issues in a while again. |

I tried to bring the discussion about this a) because I prefer the current |

behaviour b) because at least it's known what's going on. |

Seems like I'm the only one liking the current behaviour, so I gladly shut up, |

17 |
something breaks when the behaviour is switched ;) happens too often not to |
18 |
consider this, too). |
