Indeed ! That why I'm all for supporting such user, and I'm
pretty most people that are unhappy with the situation will agree.
The way it is done is problematic, because the community is kept
out. Choice are made that nobody can understand, because nobody
have the knowledge necessary to understand.
It's a balancing act. And I wish to point out, again, that the
design was based on extensive discussion threads right here in
the ng, and the design was modified based on feedback right
here in the ng. So to say the community was uninvolved in this
is incorrect, it is very much a community design.
Yes, and that is great. However, discussion can't really replace
field testing. And we are a bit short on that one.It seems we
don't have much choice right now :/
And, if you recall, I was initially opposed to UDAs and
skeptical they'd be of any actual use :-)
Ho, this is really useful, and I'm really happy that you changed
your mind on that.
