My favorite subject. 8)

You have stumbled upon an area of programmer arrogance where they alone
decide what you will do and give you no choice but to accept it, regardless
of your desires, Some smugly reply "Why, you can alter the source code and
change it if you don't like it! ", but how would a non-programmer even
attempt that? Such egalitariansm.
Like Win4Lin, they should present all the arguments as to why you shouldn't
do it, but, unlike them (and many others), trust the superuser to make an
informed decision.
If I am the superuser, I should be able to choose to do anything. If I choose
foolishly, I must live with the consequences, but my choice should not be
restricted in such a totalitarian and non-free way. It's fundamentally wrong.

And, yes, there is a way. I know it can be done with Merge, so it should be
able to be done with Wn4Lin.
