I tend to agree with you. But, just to show you how this may become 
smthing like a "religious" war, I compiled a set of messages that were 
exchanged on the darwin-development list on the subject. These mails 
show how it is difficult to convince people when they think they are 
correct "in principle". If you have the courage to look at the 40 or so 
messages, here they are :

So if you have more influence than me...

By the way, I hope this can be useful to Masa if he sees some solution 
to this problem.

Cheers

Damir
