Reasonable.  I think we would have fewer people to yell at if we
restructured things a bit. 

The fact that we have prominent people deliberately ignoring voyager

In this case I just happened to stumble onto the problem while I was
looking at something else, and decided it wasn't worth doing
development on code that was broken to start with.
