This WG can't come to agreement on whether we should mention the Re:
hack at all, so by the same reasoning we shouldn't mention it.

>But the paragraph I have redrafted

You not only redrafted it, you removed the material that made it a

>(which overall, I agree, achieves a fair compromise)

Then why destroy that characteristic?

>In the original version it reads much like
>an extension of the section detailing its cons,
