[ shrug...] I see little point in repeating myself yet again.
It's obvious that the people who want this are entirely willing
to adopt a Pollyanna-ishly optimistic view about its potential
to cause serious problems that we may or may not be able to fix.

I don't really expect to be able to prevent something along this line
from getting committed --- I'm merely hoping to circumscribe it as much
as possible and get large WARNING items into the manual's description.
