I reverted to get rid of a regression you introduced. If you want more 
details, please read the commit log and the thread I referred to in the 
commit log, since we discussed the possible alternatives in detail over the 
last days.

Yes, you have to use ERT for now, which is a pity, but the best compromise 
we could find. Nobody volunteered to implement the proper solution up to 
now.

No, I wanted to get rid of the regression. I hope that somebody will 
implement a better solution in the future.

I am aware that this throws away some work of yours, and I don't like that. 
To avoid wasting time like this in the future, I suggest to discuss such 
changes on the list before starting to work on them. Then we will not have 
to find out afterwards that a much better alternative exists, and no time 
will be wasted towards a dead end.
