Since I still don't receive Ryan's mails I'll abuse this to reply:
While you can restrict what you write yourself with modeswitches you still
need to be able to understand other people's code which might enable
modeswitches you're not familiar with. Thus modeswitches are *not* the be
all, end all solution and the argument "but you don't need to use it" will
be completely ignored by us.
