Only if you think that it's better to have something that covers many
cases but is basically broke. Perhaps it's different for code that is
already committed, but in the case of new submissions it tends to be
better to have something that is limited in a well-understood way
rather than less limited in a way that is unpredictable or difficult
to reason about.
