Wherever it makes sense.  Based on your comments it really sounded
like the hook was in a bad spot and since your approach in a lot of
this had been to remove or disable hooks I wanted to make sure that
relocating the hook was something you had considered.  Thankfully it
sounds like you have considered moving the hook - that's good.
