Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [comment:6 arma]:
 > I think picking the first one Mike ran across is a fine thing to deploy
 in the mean time, but we shouldn't rush to deploy it, or put too much
 stock in its being right.

 It is for these reasons that if Nick wants to delay this feature until
 0.2.8 (and it looks like he does), I will support him on it. This isn't an
 "oh, we just do this simple thing and then everybody is clearly safer"
 situation, and these sorts of "emergent behavior" designs often have
 surprising side effects (or heck, effects) as they get rolled out more
 widely.

 This is not to say that I don't think we should do the feature. We should.
 We just shouldn't screw up everything else in 0.2.7 that's been getting
 good testing for months now.

 With all due haste!
