OK that's your take on it :-)

Personally, cost/benefit analysis or not, I am not happy shipping software 
with known bugs that require workarounds - it's how code becomes mangled 
and twisted and you end up with a right old mess.

If we're not going to get anybody who can fix this working on it though, a 
kludge it will have to be :(
