On both counts, knowingly installing something which will break *every*
user's desktop and create integration issues with their desktop applications
when you have the ability to allow them to choose is inane. unstable or not.
When the upstream software is able to coexist sanely, then it's time to
remove that choice, and continue on.
I don't understand the reasoning behind "it's unstable, we can be as
irresponsible as we like".
