And Richard, since he's the one who added the constraints.

I feel pretty confident saying this won't change. So argue if you want
but I won't be committing anything to remove it so if you feel strongly
about it your best bet is to ask Richard to remove the code he committed.
I don't think this thread is going to go anywhere further so i'm bowing out
of it. You've made your viewpoint known, i've made mine.
