Remember that we're exposing the normal user to a gazillion switches
already. And not every user has done a PhD in hw vulns like we were
forced to in the last, at least 5, years.

So whatever you do, you should try to make it work automatic - if
possible - and DTRT - i.e., sane defaults.

Every new functionality added to that madness needs a proper
justification.

Thx.
