As long as it is just about having a majority of votes because the better
alternative didn't come with a patch (yet), we will
always have to face the current situation of suboptimal solutions used by
the core. In fact this is why we have to struggle with these hundreds of
open bugs, because just an available patch and a few +1 are enough to get
something in the core, regardless of the conceptual quality and without
taking other (and maybe better) solutions into account.

I thought the goal of 4.4 was "fixing the last 20%", which is more than just
pumping in a lot of code to get rid of exceptions, error messages and
unwanted behaviour. It's more about QA, which is why I support Bennis
approach of moving the whole stuff into an extension.

Cheers

Joey
