Unfortunately you miss my point (which is probably too simple to be clearly visible): I want to give some feedback on a topic/problem I am experiencing since _long_. I was _asked_ to do so. Additionally I am stating my _opinion_. I am _not_ telling anybody what to do. I am not in a position to do so. Very likely only _few_ people are in such a position, very likely the maintainer of aic and hopefully Marcelo. Have you read all available bug reports Justin got? If you have not, don't play with numbers.
Another personal opinion: software development tends to make things possible that "cannot be". ;-)
