19 It is not, the decision for something to be "unwelcome" (your word)
20 comes from the "hate" emotion; it is a valid argument, and I am yet to
21 see a group of users stand behind this in a way that they feel
22 present things to deal with them (eg. INSTALL_MASK) are insufficient.
23
24 As in an useful documented case, not a reference to ~2 users; because
25 those references lead us nowhere, and if there were much more users
26 in that thread you refer to it would have a result in their favor.
