If it is already implemented and working then why not have it as an
option that can be enabled or disabled. This would eliminate the
concerns raised in point 2. Point 1 isn't grounds for removing it as it
provides a different functionality that some may find useful. And 3 is
a coding problem that can be easily remedied.
