True spoken, but nobody will care for such cruft code a few months from
now. Such degeneration or fallback code must be written, debugged,
integrated, only to be removed a month later, again with debugging,
de-integration and other tests. That's a lot of work in a beta version.

There's an observation, in German it's "Provisorien halten am längsten",
i. e.: /Makeshift/ solutions last the longest.

So this code will be around for way too long.
