Actually they are a problem on a loaded system, it's just that
developers seem to run system with enough power to avoid the issues. And
if you have a system using burn-free all the time you do use more track
and the occasional device won't read it.

If someone would note the capabilities needed to allow these things
maybe jrg would have one less thing to complain about.
