This is so blatantly wrong with a 30 second glance at what's important 
that anyone who voted yes deserves a right spanking.  This TIP would 
break BWidgets, and I don't need to look any further.  The TIP blatantly 
warns on this issue.  Stop the insanity and poor thinking - you break 
something as basic as that, you will _not_ make a happy community.
