Tyler, I'd like to keep bugs and other behavior not intended by
design out of the discussion. It might not be trivial, but those
*can* be worked on and with easy collaboration with upstream.
Struggling against upstream design decisions, however, is more
complicated, and that's the problem I'm pointing to.

I'm not saying bugs are irrelevant. But they are not the point
I am raising here. So, for the sake of keeping the discussion
noise-free, please pretend Evolution has no bugs and works as
intended. It's the "intended" part I want do discuss.
