I think we should outlaw the practice in EDP, not just in Simrel, once we have provided other alternatives. My reasoning on this is that this gets in adopter’s way of controlling their update policy, which is a violation of one of key principles that projects provide a good re-usable foundation for others to build on.
Adopters are not the only audience for our releases. Users matter as well. I don't understand the technical details here, but *if* the proposed solution benefits adopters to the detriment of getting timely updates to users, then that is a real problem.
