Sure he's read the threads. The conclusion is *not* obvious, and any
blanket statement to that effect trivializes the issues in a non-helpful
way imho.
I'd like to see a continuing discussion of this before leaping to a
conclusion; now that we have (somewhat) more control over coersions some
additional tuning is certainly warranted but hopefully it will not
require removing reasonable and convenient behaviors.
