I hope that this is just sarcasm. Many of the reasons were refuted to
not be real. Of course there are still some positive reasons remaining
but they are very weak in comparison to the break of expectations of
existing users and developers of 3rd party software. So if you mainly
ignore the existing expectations you might come to a conclusion that
this feature is a net gain however this is by no means certain thing and
undisputable.
