If Andrei still wants it in, fine, but re-add it **later** once
it's
fixed or implemented properly. We can't have the site be
unusable in
the meantime. E.g. loading the following page blocks the latest
version of Firefox for several seconds before getting a dialog
box
asking the user to stop the script:

Remove hyphenator, sync up the website, and them make a
decision on
what to do later. I am really pissed off at how many D
newcomers get
thrown off, because someone is sitting on their hands with the
key to
the website in their pocket. We might as well (as a community)
move
the entire website over to another place, and end this veto
nonsense.

The lag really pisses me off and I couldn't care less about the
hyphenation. Cosmetic features like this are OK but only if they
don't slow users down. If they _are_ slowing users down, they
shouldn't exist.
