Do you have a link to that prior discussion? I don't remember
reaching consensus specifically on that point. And at any rate, if
the implementation complexity mitigates strongly in the other
direction, that may be a sign that we should consider revising our
opinion on what the right thing to do is.

The problem with just accepting that feature A doesn't work with
feature B and releasing anyway is that, in many cases, nobody ever
gets around to fixing it. We have some of those warts already, and
I'm not keen to add more.
