I have no problem with the panic. But when one disables a warning and makes it
a panic, it'd be nice to have a headsup. Any statement that a headsup is *not*
a good idea is just nonsense.

No criticism of PHK and the warnings -> panics was intended by me. The tone I
was selecting was simply one of extremly mild "would have been nice". This has
now blown up into a major lovefest along the usual lines. I'm sorry- I had no
intention of inducing such.

It has taken me 8 minutes to type this as 99% of my 144KBit DSL is consumed by
something else and I'm remote- I'm sure we'd all like to consume less
bandwidth now as this is a topic that never seems to resolve no matter how
much flammage and discussion occurs - the usual suspects have made the usual
claims - can we tokenize this so that in the future we could have soemthing
like:

mjacob: #1!

phk: #24!

gog: #33? 2#.... #33!

(random other committer): #55... #55...#55...
