I don't have a technical opinion about this problem yet as I haven't
tested HS+SR yet but I'm not sure it's a good idea to base technical
decisions and priorities on user polls (I'm pretty sure most of them
don't use HS+SR as much as Heikki these days).
If you ask people what they want in their future cars, they won't
answer they want wheels or an engine: it's something obvious for them.
AFAICS (but I might be wrong), you asked this question to people who
are interested in HS+SR but don't have any idea of what it's like to
use HS+SR daily with or without this limitation.

There are perhaps better arguments for not doing it but this one seems
a bit weird to me.
