I don't want to get into that in this thread. It is too close to a
discussion of what is the best way to do things. I certainly don't
want to challenge people by asking "why".
I want people to feel free to describe things they have seen, or which
they do, without feeling criticised. "sounds quite complicated"
sounds like a criticism to me. And I don't want the thread derailed.
I would prefer to focus on "what".
(Also, I feel that I personally have a pretty good handle on the
advantages and disadvantages of various approaches and I can usually
see why people have done things, even things that I think are a bad
idea. So I don't need help with that.)
