Nevertheless, I've heard a number of people express similar
views, and nobody apart from Malcolm concerned to keep the
present behaviour.  I sympathise with Malcolm -- usually in
such situations one goes ahead, makes the change, and suddenly
people spring out of the woodwork screaming.  Maintenance
can be a no-win occupation!

But I suspect this one is fairly safe, as long as the
statistics are presented in a way that makes it clear
that they're incomplete.
