Conclusion of yet another expensive UI folly (was: [PULL 00/21] NBD and miscellaneous patches for 2023-06-01) |

User-agent: |
Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/28.2 (gnu/linux) |
Pattern:
First, one of us gets a bright idea on user-friendly interface (here:
fractional sizes like 1.5M). Objections, if any, get brushed aside.
Then the thing sprouts warts, tentacles, sores, and starts to give off
that sickly-sweet smell of bugs feasting on misguided ideas.
Until one of us spends a lot more time on containing and reducing the
damage than the thing could ever be worth.
Cobbler, stick to your last.
Thanks, Eric!
