There is no need to deliberately misinterpret what I wrote. What I was trying to say was that "automagical" things don't belong in a professional environment, because it is hiding important information from people. And this is bad as it is, but if it on top of that is the *intended* meaning for things in solr to be "automagical", ie *deliberately* hiding information from the solr users, well that attitude is just baffling in my eyes. I can only hope that I misunderstood you.
