Having been on the receiving end of this kind of logic, I agree
with Tom - quite strongly too, in fact. As a user, I do not want
to be held hostage, especially when there is no workaround. If
the proposed solution brings no noticeable harm for our users
in the situation where things are working as expected, I think
we should consider it. And to help mitigating the fears that
we would be hiding bugs, we can perhaps find a middle-ground;
for instance, making sure that we print a really verbose error
message.
