Bah. Not roadblocks, basic design requirements. |

Unlike some, I don't pretend to know enough about the design part of |
| 16 |
this to even consider working on a patch. Code that does the wrong |

| In other words, their really is no point in debating people |
| 20 |

...at which point, you will claim "the work is already done, so it's |
| 25 |
too late to block this now". |
