I agree with this.  On the other hand, waiting forever isn't productive
either, which I think is where a lot of Vincent's frustration comes
from, that it's hard to know when we've waited «long enough».

I'm leaning towards dropping htags, since that seems to have problems
security-wise (the idea of generated CGIs don't fill me with joy, at
least, and hopefully not many others either), and also has a lot less
value today than it used to back in the days.

Maybe the question we should ask is less «who/how many people use
htags?» and more «what value does htags provide?».  I'm no big fan of
arbitrarily breaking people's workflows, which we might be the result if
we remove htags.
