Andrey, thanks for chiming in!

I do wonder though, the commit (155cc9e4b1d60161ee53) I referenced was
yours, and now you're asking the same question as I am -- "why even
allow adding stations?"

Should we just refuse it (again)? Clearly it would be safer than the
current code that's prone to crashes.
