I don't have a technical opinion about this problem yet as I haven't tested HS+SR yet but I'm not sure it's a good idea to base technical decisions and priorities on user polls (I'm pretty sure most of them don't use HS+SR as much as Heikki these days). If you ask people what they want in their future cars, they won't answer they want wheels or an engine: it's something obvious for them. AFAICS (but I might be wrong), you asked this question to people who are interested in HS+SR but don't have any idea of what it's like to use HS+SR daily with or without this limitation. There are perhaps better arguments for not doing it but this one seems a bit weird to me. -- Guillaume
