This argument is not new, and I can fully understand this position,
too. I'mm all to often myself in the position where the right Thing
(TM) requires more efforts and/or time than what is available in the
given project.

And from the maintainer's point of view, this has always been the
argument to sneak in code which is a workaround at best, and which
itself cements the original problem even more and makes it more
difficult to solve it at the roots.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
