I agree. I think if it was reported enough it would have been changed a long time ago, if that was possible. I remember asking why something couldn't be fixed before and was told, 'it's too difficult'.

To wit:

I have always known that changing something on line 25,355 would come back and bite me hard 3 years later, and I wondered if I really did the right thing all those years ago.

When I wrote code I had handwritten books that were in essence log books to go with the backups unix gave me in that environment, despite my feeling that that was good enough, I could always find some entry dated 3 years earlier where I did change some dumb thing, and that was the root cause.

So, I would state, pragmatically, that if this is an easy fix, it will show up in a later build. Otherwise, it won't. Golly that's a distillation of many thoughts and threads. Gosub...
