It's obvious for me that it's only workaround and only for home users for which simplicity is key feature. So you have temporary solution and choice to do it or not.
I personally have done it on my wife's notebook since it's simple environment used by her only a home, without any sensitive data. For her to have comfort that everything works as expected and no "strange" messages appear is most important thing about computer usage.
So one again - yes, it's dirty workaround BUT you have choice to do it or not.
