Well, you are correct that a larger group of users *could* have avoided
an obvious and important issue. Though if you deploy that argument it
can be applied both ways: Heikki may also be missing an obvious and
important issue. Where does that leave us?
I am not against putting both into this release. If I am forced to
choose just one, I've at least given reasons why that should be so.
