This decision raises a somewhat larger issue, namely whether deferring
to implementor desires is always the right thing to do. Compared to
implementers, there are many more users and system administrators. For
the reasons discussed earlier and alluded to below, they now lose in
having poorer error handling and more abuse.
Yeah, this "running code" thing is over-rated.
It does have one characteristic that seems to be missing from your own varied
assertions about nasty impact: observable data.
It also presumes that those implementing code operate wholly independently of
those who will operate or use that running code. (An extended pattern of such
independence is usually a good way of going out of business.)
And the claim of more spam was directly addressed as being wrong.
So perhaps you can show an empirical basis for your claims of doom and gloom?
Oh. Right. During the very extended discussion threads, none was produced.
