Well, I do agree. But at the same time I also disagree, for the obvious
reason that it's still the =best= language for the task at hand. So I can
only hope to make it better for it rather than make it worse.

And I do know that other people have other concerns. Wich is why I think a
flexible approach which allows people to express those concerns would be
such a nice thing.
