I think our standards have gone up over the years, and properly so.
The fact that we put in hacks some years ago doesn't mean that we
still should.
I don't really mind hacks^H^H^Hpartial solutions that are clean subsets
of the functionality we want to have eventually. I do object to hacks
that will create a backwards-compatibility problem when we want to do it
right.
