it doesn't logically follow that a bad solution should be deployed purely
because users can't be bothered to improve their practices.  so attempting
to justify a change based purely on "this is the only API users will use"
doesn't really fly in my mind.

(don't try and extrapolate this into specifics on the ppc/hwcaps issue as
that is a waste of time -- this thread is talking generalities.)
