Do you think that there is any equality between remote-triggered 
crash and lack of specific feature? BTW: you joke makes strong 
argument against PF - there wasn't push for updating NPF features
because they already works in - as we NOW know - buggy and insecure
PF.

PS. Looks like Open, with larger userbase hasn't similar objections 
before pruning cumbersome code.
