I find this very troubling, and I hope the restriction extends no further
than the documentation.

I've written a very brief article about this, here:

Perhaps this will garner a little more attention.  If anybody's interested
in chiming in on that article, or correcting any errors I may have made,
please feel free.  Any responses to this email will be read with an eye
toward making sure I've got my facts straight, as well.
