In other words "we get what we deserve/ask for". Maybe we should really
change the status to "won't fix" after all, for obvious reasons; but I
guess it's better to stay positive and go on with "in progress", waiting
for a radical global change of mind (hopefully somewhere in the near
future) or we're screwed anyway.
