*sigh*

This question has been raised and discussed before. Should become part of a 
FAQ list. Check the mailing list archive. In 99.9% of the cases it is stupid 
to announce /0.  Since the project is open source you or anyone else can 
modify the code and maintain a patch, for those who think it is smart to have 
this "feature". I would consider it a bug.  

Cheers,
