I think it's a good step, I believe we need to reduce the load on the
user, and this is a good way to do it. Naturally the non-newbie can
get around it if it's not doing the right thing. We have a lot of
criticism that the installation is complicated, we reply that no, it's
flexible, in reality if we do these kinds of things it can be both.
Are you concerned it would choose the wrong one?
